The story follows a unicorn who is absolutely fed up with being in a unicorn book. As she realizes she is trapped within the pages, she attempts to escape through hilarious physical feats like jumping and eating her way out. It is a meta-fictional romp that validates feelings of frustration and the desire to break the mold. Parents will appreciate how it uses absurdist humor to bridge the gap between a child's internal moodiness and the external pressure to be cheerful.
