Yrrem Samtsirhc from Mars

A gentle, highly intelligent alien crash-lands in a small town just before Christmas and forms an unlikely friendship with a girl with Down syndrome. Together, they spark a movement of kindness that transforms the community—forcing bullies, families, and even the town’s adults to rediscover empathy, diversity, and the magic of unity.

Author Bio:
Naomi Lisner is an actor, writer, and occasional director who believes stories should make you feel something — preferably laughter, catharsis, and maybe a tiny existential crisis (the fun kind). After years working in front of the camera, she eventually picked up the pen, the director’s chair, and a paintbrush, proving she has trouble sitting still for more than five minutes.

An award-winning storyteller, Naomi creates work with heart, humour, and characters who feel real enough to text you at 2 a.
