In this inspiring picture book for unicorn lovers young and young-at-heart, readers are urged to believe in their remarkable, singular, imperfect selves.
And it’s not what’s on the outside that makes a unicorn a unicorn. It’s what’s on the inside. Which means anyone can be a unicorn! So what are you waiting for? Go! Frolic in every forest. Slide down every rainbow. Swim in every glittery sea. And charge fearlessly in the direction of your most outlandish dreams.
Written and illustrated by the creators of the bestseller Goodnight Unicorn, Always Be a Unicorn makes a spot-on gift for anyone enchanted by unicorns, celebrating a big life moment, or in need of a reminder about how special and beloved they are. Perfect for birthdays, holidays, graduations, milestones, and just because.

“Always Be A Unicorn is about discovering or rediscovering your unique wonderfulness within. Humans, young humans in particular, tend to see the world in high contrast.

It’s our quirks, flaws, and errors—and our ability to grow from them—that make us special and most like a unicorn. We all need a refresher on this lesson once in a while because it would be a shame to miss an opportunity to embrace our inner unicorns.” — Candace Martin-O’Connor, Assistant Director of Early Childhood Education, Poudre School District
