Is there life on other planets? Where did the world come from? What would you say if suddenly a strange being from another planet fell from an apple tree in your garden? Jostein Gaarder, in this book, brings us closer to the great questions about existence, this time with a pleasant platonic dialogue between Milka, a small extraterrestrial being, and Joakim, an 8-year-old boy who awaits the arrival of a little brother that same night. Through their conversation, they explore the extinction of the dinosaurs, the evolution of species and the origin of life, reflecting on the equality and differences between them. A simple story that becomes a parable about the enigmas of the universe.
