The popular actor will read Meet The Planets, a picture book written by Caryl Hart and illustrated by Bethan Woollvin.
The BBC describes it as “a playful and colorful journey across the solar system introducing young viewers to each planet and its unique personality.”
“I love storytelling more than anything in the world. I loved stories as a kid, mostly at night, because I would take them into my dreams,” Pascal said in a press release Thursday.
“So, if it was from a book, or from my mom’s imagination, I always asked for a story to help me get to sleep.”
Pascal is also known for his roles in Game of Thrones and The Last of Us.
