Kitty thinks she might be a unicorn. She feels so perfectly unicorn-y! She ties a pretend horn on her head and imagines herself in the mirror as a glorious steed. “Neigh!” says Kitty. But Parrot and Gecko insist she's an ordinary cat — “You’re never going to be a unicorn, funny-foo,” — and when Unicorn clop clop clops over, sweeping his magnificent tail and neighing a mighty neigh, Kitty feels no bigger than a ball of lint. Can this unlikely pair embrace who they are, and truly see one another?
In their first picture book together, the magical, bestselling team of Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham put their horns together for the most heart-bursting, tail-twitching, fuzzy-feeling, perfectly unicorn-y story imaginable. This is a whimsical and wonderful story that celebrates the magic of friendship — and being exactly who you want to be!
"What ostensibly starts out as an almost criminally cute tale of pretend play transforms into something much more: a celebration of claiming and naming one’s identity and having it affirmed by others — even if it’s a community of two. 'I knew that another kitty-corn like you would see,' says the unicorn. 'Yes,” says Kitty, “I see you.'" — Publishers Weekly
