As war threatens their town, Tomas learns that stories are not just words on a page but a source of resilience and communal hope. This short chapter book is perfect for 7 to 10 year olds who are transitioning to deeper emotional themes. It uses the metaphor of a wooden unicorn to bridge the gap between harsh reality and the magic of the human spirit.
