The official picture-book adaptation of “Change Your Mind” by series creator Rebecca Sugar!

In 2019, Cartoon Network aired a pivotal episode in its Emmy- and Annie-award nominated series Steven Universe: The hour-long special “Change Your Mind” revealed the highly anticipated culmination of Pink Diamond’s storyline.

A companion book to the series, The Tale of Steven tells the story of “Change Your Mind” in the same style as the New York Times bestselling The Answer.

Featuring an unusual and thought-provoking interactive format, readers will follow the story of Pink Diamond’s escape from Homeworld, Rose Quartz’s life on Earth, and the creation of Steven Universe, from multiple conflicting perspectives.

The Tale of Steven will be an irresistible keepsake for Steven Universe fans of all ages.

From the back cover:

Once upon a time,

a silly, impossible little Gem

named Pink Diamond

ran away from her Homeworld

to the planet Earth.

She transformed into Rose Quartz

and gave up her existence

to create a half-human child,

Steven Universe.

But so long as Steven has her Gem,

can they BOTH exist?

Is he her? Is she him?

Is she trapped inside his Gem?

This is so DISORIENTING!

In a story unlike any other—

made up of multiple points of view—

who gets to tell the Tale of Steven?
