Publisher Description
Far away in the north, at the edge of the Ancient Forest, lives a little unicorn.
Wee Unicorn is very small, and she's very loud . . . but she's not magic (and everyone knows unicorns are supposed to be magic!). Wee Unicorn would love to find friends to play with, but how can she fit in when she feels so different?
A fun-filled tale of adventure and finding friendship in the most unexpected places by Meg McLaren, winner of the Scottish Bookbug Picture Book Prize and shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This sprightly story centering on a fantastical creature meetup spotlights self-acceptance. With a loud voice and helpful nature, Wee Unicorn struggles with a single problem: "She wasn't what everyone expected a unicorn to be. Wee Unicorn WASN'T magic." Friendly mountain giants reassure, "Just do your own thing," but it takes repeat encounters —one frightening and one conciliatory—with a loch creature of lore for the horned heroine to embrace her own kindheartedness. As Wee follows a path toward self-discovery, McLaren weaves in classic fairy tale entities: fluttering fairies offer commentary, selkies provide conflict, and a comic side plot spins an origin story for the Loch Ness "monster"'s name. Cool-toned artwork has the appealing look of screen printing, amplifying the takeaway that belief in oneself is a beautiful thing. Ages 3–7.
