About the book...
Love is everywhere, even in the fartherst reaches of the Solar System. On NASA’s first-ever mission to Pluto, the New Horizons satellite discovers that even when you’re far from home, you are loved.
New Horizons was the first NASA satellite to visit and take close-up images of Pluto. And though the journey was long and challenging, New Horizons discovered a message of love in the heart-shaped nitrogren ice lake on Pluto’s surface.

Honestly, how can you NOT like Pluto?
Aside from keeping an eye on the further reaches of our solar system, and surviving the it's-a-planet-it's-not-a-planet debate with flying colors...it has a stinkin' heart for all to see! Again, how can you NOT love it?
This book reinforces that love with flying colors and a bit of actual space history type info to boot! We get to go along with New Horizons as it makes its NINE YEAR mission to the outer reaches of our own place in space, chronicling its journey in kid-friendly fashion so that not only are the eyes delighted and the mind engaged, but the heart follows suit. It's a great new addition to any library, personal, school or otherwise, and a creative way to introduce wee ones to the worlds and wonders beyond our own planet! Who knows? The next mission to the great beyond explorer may be in your midst! Take heed and share this little wonder!
