In this
evocative tale of friendship and self-discovery, a young unicorn undertakes a
magical journey in order to find his purpose. Excellent for discussing themes of
identity and solidarity. The
beautiful illustrations are by Abigail Pizer.
Author’s
Note : This story was born out of the request of my great-nieces
Virginia Marie, Lauren and Allison Roure DeMiranda for a bedtime story. When I
asked them what they wanted the story to be about they requested “unicorns”.
So, inspired by their beauty and their trust on my storytelling abilities I
began: “Each evening, as the sun set…” and the book was born. It has
always been one my favorites, perhaps because of my love for the girls who
inspired it, and their mother, my niece Virgilú.
