I Heart Pluto

Scientists have determined that Pluto is a minor planet and is no longer considered one of the main planets of the Solar System. But that doesn't mean we don't love Pluto and the other minor planets in the universe! From the team behind the adorably popular 8 Little Planets comes a new tale about the planet who no longer fits in.

New from Chris Ferrie, the #1 science author for kids, and Helen Maynard-Casely comes a charming board book titled I Heart Pluto, which delves into the story of Pluto, the minor planet that no longer fits in. This tale, brought to you by the creators of the beloved Baby University series and the creators of the popular 8 Little Planets, introduces a heartwarming story filled with cosmic wonder.

In I Heart Pluto, our protagonist Pluto is prominently featured, initially proud of its status among the planets. However, during a grand party of planets, Pluto finds itself excluded. The reason? Pluto fails to meet the three crucial rules that define a planet. Struggling with feelings of sadness and rejection, Pluto embarks on a journey to rediscover its place in the vast universe. With the support of some newfound friends, Pluto might just learn that being a minor planet is something truly special and worth celebrating.

With its vibrant and joyful illustrations, complemented by playful and engaging verse, this book captivates readers of all ages. The fun die-cut shape adds an interactive element, making the experience even more enjoyable. Aspiring young astronomers and long-time space enthusiasts alike will revel in this delightful and fact-filled planetary tale that brings our solar system's first minor planet to life in an unforgettable way.

I Heart Pluto celebrates the uniqueness of Pluto while subtly teaching children about the solar system, science, and acceptance. It's a must-have addition to any young reader's bookshelf, offering an educational and heartfelt story that resonates beyond the pages.
