Uni the Unicorn
By Amy Krouse Rosenthal
The Story
A unicorn named Uni is told that little girls are just make-believe, but Uni believes otherwise and holds onto hope that a real little girl is out there waiting to be best friends.

- Big idea: Believing in something, even when the grown-ups insist it's impossible, is its own kind of magic.
- Vibes: Sparkly, hopeful, and softly magical.
Perfect For Kids Who
- love unicorns and all things magical
- are working on trusting their own instincts even when others disagree
