A child sitting on a stool looking through a telescope toward a computer screen in a bedroom with framed pictures on the wall. A speech bubble contains a thought about super-vision, following someone, and saving her.
Colorful comic-style text reading 'That would mean that I am a ten-legged alien space cow hero' against a dark purple background with a small illustration of a cow's face in the bottom right corner.
Cartoon child dressed as an astronaut, flying in space with binoculars and a cape, next to Earth, with the word "COOOOOL!!" in a speech bubble.
 
 

“ Sirls subtly depicts the ratcheting anxiety that can plague nighttime routines and experiences, injecting humor as the child’s inventiveness creates a safe, calming coping mechanism—one that can very frequently be seen in the night sky.”
