there are worlds where fields of dry, baked earth are side by side with enchanted gardens, and places where the strangest creatures are the truest friends. these are the places where unicorns heal hearts and minds, and a place where dreams come true. Unicorns can give you strength to carry on or they can be weak, strange-looking foal, hand-fed like a poddy lamb, asleep beside Grandma's stove. Whether fragile or strong, in this world or a place light years away, these mythical creatures will always be magic! Ages 10+
