Steve and Eve is a magically-illustrated graphic novel book series that helps address the challenges of this climate change era, while inspiring children with adventure, laughter, and hope.

Planet Hero Kids graphic novels will delight and inspire young readers. Children will experience the thrill of adventure, while becoming empowered by the realization that every act of kindness can help to heal the planet and all of its creatures.    

In the first book in the series, I Can Hear Your Heart Beep, readers are introduced to Steve, a kooky polar bear with a magical power gifted to him by the Northern Lights, and Eve, a feisty electric car who wants to change the world. This 200-page illustrated work-of-art is available in paperback, hardcover, and e-book formats.

We invite you and your kids to sign up to the Planet Hero Kids team to follow Steve and Eve as their adventures unfold and of course to buy the first book in the series.

Spreading kindness, like jam on toast!

Steve and Eve.
