When a young chef whips up his favorite, unusual treats to share with his family and neighbors, no one will touch them. Discouraged, he closes his snack stand and gives up. But when his first customer appears after the moon rises, he realizes he was just open at the wrong time of day.
As word spreads to every corner of the galaxy, his line starts to stretch across the evening sky. Pleasing intergalactic taste buds isn’t easy, but after all, even aliens need snacks!
