About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling like an 'odd duck' or struggling with the pressure to fit a specific label. This hilarious and heartwarming story follows a little calf who is absolutely convinced they are a unicorn because of their single horn, even though they lack the typical sparkles, rainbows, and silky manes associated with the myth. It is a brilliant exploration of identity and belonging that uses absurdist humor to tackle the very real anxiety of not checking all the boxes. Ideal for children ages 3 to 7, Helen Yoon's story validates the 'imposter syndrome' many kids feel when they don't look or act like the archetypes they see in media. It provides a joyful opening for parents to discuss how we define ourselves and where we find our tribe. Ultimately, it is a celebration of self-perception and the wonderful discovery that there is no one right way to be yourself.
