Written & illustrated by Helen Yoon
A young animal discovers they may be a unicorn after all.
A one-horned calf believes it's a unicorn, but doubts arise when it lacks the sparkle and mane of true unicorns. As it grapples with its identity, unexpected support from real unicorns might just help it embrace its true self. Will the calf find the courage to accept who it is, unicorn or not?
What happens when a one-horned calf with impeccable logic is convinced they’re a unicorn? Helen Yoon spins an endearing comedy of self-determination for gigglers everywhere. “See?” cries the calf. “Uni means one, and corn means horn!” Even their baby picture proves it: they were born with one horn! But as the eager little calf continues their research, a budding identity crisis arises when they realize they don’t quite check all the boxes–should a certain lack of moonlight sparkle or silky mane or rainbow poop decide the issue. Perhaps some unexpected encouragement from a pack of “real” unicorns might be just the assurance they need? Helen Yoon, the comic talent behind Sheepish (Wolf Under Cover) and the anarchic Off-Limits, returns with a clarion call for self-doubters everywhere to embrace who they are–unicorn or otherwise.
