What does it really mean to feel like an alien — and how do we help kids feel like they belong?

In this special episode of CloneStar Podcast, we sit down with actor and activist Jonathan Del Arco (Hugh the Borg – Star Trek: TNG & Picard), educator and author Trisha DiFazio, and illustrator Adria Alvarado to explore the heartwarming children’s book Freddy the Alien — a story about immigration, identity, and the quiet courage it takes to be yourself.

💬 We talk about:

• Jonathan’s real-life journey from Uruguay to New York

• The emotional legacy of Hugh the Borg

• Blending language and culture in children’s lit

• The power of teachers to change lives

• And why Freddy is a book for every child who’s ever felt different.
