About this title

Synopsis

Pluto the planet was really quite proud. But at the party of planets, it wasn't allowed... OH NO! 

From the bestselling creator of Baby University and the acclaimed team behind 8 Little Planets comes a cosmic tale full of science, heart, and hope. I Heart Pluto brings kids on a journey of self-discovery, space facts, and the power of being proudly different.

When Pluto learns it no longer qualifies as a planet, it feels left out of the solar system's planet party. But through playful rhymes, colorful art, and a science-savvy storyline, young readers learn that being unique is something to celebrate ― in space and in life.

Why Families and Teachers Love I Heart Pluto:

• Builds confidence and empathy: Helps children process feelings of exclusion and identity through a story of cosmic belonging
• Visually and physically engaging: Clever die-cut designs and bold, joyful illustrations bring the solar system to life

This STEAM board book is a thoughtful gift for space-loving kids, a valuable classroom tool, and a comforting bedtime read that reminds children they always have a place in the universe.
