Why read it?

2 authors picked Kevin the Unicorn as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Kevin the Unicorn is having a disastrous, non-magical, totally not-sparkly day. And you know what? That’s okay. Uber-talented author/illustrator Jessika von Innerebner’s vibrant illustrations and sparkling prose are a delight. The book gives a playful plug for authenticity in a world where perceptions of people are too often filtered, edited, or curated.

From Jess' list on unusual unicorns.

This book is a different take on unicorns. What do you mean all unicorns aren’t happy? Kevin wakes up on the floor and has a bad hair day. He tries to be positive but everything seems to go wrong. I love this book because sometimes we have bad days and that it's okay to have a bad day.

From Shelli's list on unicorn in the uni-verse.
