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.

From the team behind the adorably popular 8 Little Planets comes a new tale about the planet who no longer fits in.

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.
