This is an intergalactic preterm birth When Preemie and his three child passengers come across a gang of bullying spacecraft who tease the little rocket about his small stature, Preemie is at first devastated. However, after some important lessons from the moles and kangaroos at planet NICU and a thrilling chase through space, Preemie develops the courage and wisdom necessary to restore a healthy self esteem. When children root for Preemie, they are also rooting for themselves to overcome their own challenges.
