Marty

Marty is a Martian. He prefers the term “Martian,” so please don't refer to him as an alien. He wears disguises and watches Earthlings, trying to fit in. One day his identity as a Martian is discovered, and he finds a home and a way to truly belong.

A lovely little story about becoming a part of a foreign world while retaining one's identity, with gentle messages about allowing people to choose their own labels for themselves.
