Shannon Hale

eBook - 2021

From bestselling superstar duo Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham comes a delightful kitty and unicorn story that celebrates the magic of friendship-and being exactly who you want to be! Kitty thinks she might be a unicorn. She feels so perfectly unicorn-y! "Neigh!" says Kitty. But when Unicorn clop clop clops over, sweeping his magnificent tail and neighing a mighty neigh, Kitty feels no bigger than a ball of lint. Can this unlikely pair embrace who they are, and truly see one another? In their first picture book together, the magical, bestselling team of Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham put their horns together for the most heart-bursting, tail-twitching, fuzzy-feeling, perfectly unicorn-y story imaginable. Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham ar...e the team behind the bestselling graphic novels Real Friends and Best Friends, and, with Dean Hale, the early chapter book series The Princess in Black. They've made a bunch of other books, too. They are also both moms of genius kids, wives to book-creating husbands, caretakers of cats, and believers in unicorns. LeUyen lives in Los Angeles, Shannon lives in Utah, and they visit each other as often as geographically possible. BFFs 4EVA.

Review by Horn Book Review

Kitty, a fluffy pink feline sporting a stripy conical hat, "thinks she might be a unicorn." Admiring herself in the mirror ("she feels so perfectly unicorn-y"), she doesn't let Parakeet's heckling ("You're never going to be a unicorn, funny-foo") or Gecko's ("You meow in your sleep, miffy-mew") get her down -- until the arrival of an actual unicorn ("Clop clop clop...Neigh!") causes a minor existential crisis. The species-admiration is mutual, though, with Unicorn confessing that he's really a "Kitty-corn" -- and maybe Kitty is, too. Pham's lively pink-and-purple-heavy illustrations, a mix of full pages, double-page spreads, and vignettes, include plenty of white space with little background detail. The creatures take center stage, and when our heroes briefly pause, standing eye-to-eye ("'Yes,' says Kitty. 'I see you'"), there's poignancy. Pham and Hale are themselves a comfortably established pair, with eight Princess in Black books (co-written with Dean Hale) and the Friends graphic memoirs (Real Friends, rev. 5/17; Best Friends, rev. 11/19). Their picture-book debut about embracing one's inner unicorn is a paean to self-perception, self-actualization, and finding one's people amongst the neigh-sayers.
