Little Pluto: Still a Planet in My Heart - Paperback

by Ken Veard (Author)

At the far, quiet edge of space, Little Pluto sits feeling small, blue, and left out. Do my old friends still remember me?

Then a twinkling star lights the way home - and sends Pluto on a gentle journey across the solar system. One by one, the Sun and all eight planets call out the same happy greeting: "Little Pluto!" Mercury proves that small friends do big things. Saturn shares the joy of having a moon by your side. Earth wears love the way Pluto wears its heart. And every friend, near and far, reminds Pluto of the same warm truth: you belong.

A tender, sing-song bedtime story for ages 18 months to 6, Little Pluto turns a question every child feels - Do I still matter? Am I still loved? - into a cozy, reassuring read-aloud. With its soft AABB rhymes, predictable "Then came..." rhythm that little ones learn to chime in on, and lush, dreamy nebula illustrations, it's made for laps, snuggles, and one-more-time bedtimes.

No astronomy lesson, no labels - just a small, round friend who learns that being little, being far away, and being different are all perfectly okay. Because no matter what anyone says, Pluto is still a planet in my heart.

Perfect for: bedtime, early readers, space-loving toddlers and preschoolers, and any child who's ever felt left out.
