Peanut Goes for the Gold

Jonathan Van Ness,
the star of Netflix’s hit show Queer Eye,
brings his signature humor and positivity to his empowering first picture
book, inspiring readers of all ages to love being exactly who they are.

Peanut Goes for the
Gold is a
charming, funny, and heartfelt picture book that follows the adventures of
Peanut, a gender nonbinary guinea pig who does everything with their own
personal flare.

Peanut just has their own unique way of doing things.
Whether it’s cartwheeling during basketball practice or cutting their own hair,
this little guinea pig puts their own special twist on life. So when Peanut
decides to be a rhythmic gymnast, they come up with a routine that they know is
absolutely perfect, because it is
absolutely, one hundred percent Peanut.  

This upbeat and hilarious picture book, inspired by
Jonathan’s own childhood guinea pig, encourages children to not just be
themselves—but to boldly and unapologetically love being themselves.

Jonathan Van Ness brings his signature message of warmth, positivity, and self-love to
this boldly original picture book that celebrates the joys of being true to
yourself and the magic that comes from following your dreams.

Praise for "Over the Top": "There is plenty to laugh at in the ways “Queer Eye”’s grooming expert frames his story, but it’s the battles he’s waged against the darker corners of his soul to become the bright light we know today that provide the necessary context for this book to shine."
