Dear Unicorn
What's Dear Unicorn About
Two pen pals receive the shock of a lifetime in this giggle-inducing ode to friendship, art, and keeping an open mind! Connie’s art class is partnering up with pen pals this year, and she loves exchanging letters with her new friend, Nic, even though the two of them are polar opposites. Connie takes her art seriously and thinks things like kittens are nothing more than a distraction, while Nic has a more whimsical approach to painting and knows the value of a good cupcake. But both are eagerly awaiting the end of year pen pal art festival where their two classes will finally meet. But they’re in for quite the shock… Connie doesn’t know Nic is a unicorn. And Nic has no clue that Connie is a human. It turns out, though, that even this surprise can’t get in the way of true friendship. Through their letters, they see that their differences are their strengths–and that they lave a lot to learn from each other. With Josh Funk’s signature laugh-out-loud humor and Charles Santoso’s explosively fun illustrations, Dear Unicorn is a celebration of new friends, art, and stepping outside your comfort zone.
