If I Were the King of Pluto

Harison Butler Illustrated by Jeff Dehut

A young boy imagines doing whatever he likes as King of Pluto, but will he miss anything from home?

Returning home, the boy learns the importance of family and support. A fun, whimsical adventure, with rich, imaginative illustrations, that explores independence and the strength of family.

A fun filled and fantastical story that explores childhood independence and the strength of family.
