How incredibly wonderful. So many amazing lessons from this fabulously illustrated little unicorn.
Self confidence, self worth, treating others well, not judging or being biased by other's opinions.
Plus, now I know how the Loch Ness monster got their name!
My girls adore this book and have requested it multiple times.

Wee unicorn is the adventure of a tiny, non-magical unicorn who is judged by his peers, judges the Loch Ness as a scary monster, then bravely tracks down Ness to give her apology for hurting Ness’s feelings.
The unicorn is cute, but there is a lot going on in this very short story. Overall, a 3 star rating for us.
We liked the setting and the incorporation of magical creatures, and we imagined a Scottish accent that I’m certainly unable to replicate in my actual voice. The illustrations are very cute and my toddler really enjoyed looking at the pictures.
The story seemed to be going for a “be yourself” vibe, but then took a turn to facing nerves and ending with “be brave”. Being yourself can require one to be brave, but it felt like an odd shift and not a cohesive lesson.

what a wonderful story!
We loved the narrative and the beautiful illustrations.
its a story about kindness, friendship and being who you are unapologetically! stunning book!

I never thought the day or era would come where board books have maps for the story to be told at the very beginning of the book! 😭 Lemme take a moment!
This entire book screams “believe in yourself” or rather “BELIEVE YOU CAN CREATE MAGIC!!!”. The tiny unicorn in the book doesn’t believe that it has the ability to create magic while others can see it very clearly for what it already is!
The art work is purely magical (no, not anything magical is happening here!) but yes, because of the artist’s pure talent!
The entire book will make the reader believe in themselves that they are capable of doing great things all over again!
Thank you, Charlesbridge, for the ARC.

I received an ARC of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Oh. My. Goodness.
I have a new favorite picture book. This is the cutest, most uplifting and inspiring fictional picture book that I have read in a very long time. I'm on middle age's doorstep, but I love picture books. I have my own collection of them. Just for me. I will definitely be preordering this one for myself. If you've got a child who is struggling with being different, this book would be perfect for them. It also makes a great glass door for kids who might not feel that way.

My daughter absolutely loves unicorns and I was so excited to read this with her! She LOVED it! It was absolutely darling. Such a sweet story.

My son absolutely loves unicorns, so naturally I had to to pick this book up. WE absolutely LOVED IT! The artwork in this book was absolutely stunning!
A Wee Unicorn who's supposed to be full of magic, is magicless & loud and therefore not liked by those around her. She then proceeds to go on a fun adventure, where she ends up making friends in unexpected places, as well as learning to just be herself. This is definitely something we'll be picking up time & time again.
Thank you Charlesbridge & NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Wee Unicorn is a unique story about a strange unicorn- they are loud, small, but most importantly they don’t have magic. Wee unicorn struggles throughout the beginning of the book to find a place she belongs and people that accept her for who she is. Then, ends up on a journey that will change everything.
This children’s book is beautifully illustrated and was made with clear intentions of a strong message. To not only love yourself but to accept others for who they are. It also highlights using what strengths you have rather than focusing on what you don’t have. I like how the story indirectly shares tidbits of another culture, using terms that are not particularly used in American English. I did feel like it jumped around a bit as there were lots of characters that quickly entered and exited. But overall it’s a darling book that would be a great addition to any bookshelf!
Thank you to Charlesbridge and NetGalley for this advanced reading copy in exchange for my honest review.

So cute! This is a story about embracing self, not underestimating one's own potential, and not judging others based on their differences. A cute story with a great message.
And if you ever wanted to know how the Loch Ness Monster got its name, this book has the answer. ;)

This book is adorable! A lochness monster and a unicorn become friends, what’s not to love! The illustrations are colorful and engaging. The text is so sweet. I think a lot of young children will really enjoy this fun adventure!

This book is absolutely adorable! Wee Unicorn doesn't seem to fit in and isn't like your typical unicorn. But when she's not nice to a monster, she feels that she needs to find them and apologize. And along that journey, she discovers she just might be magic after all.
The illustrations are lovely too! I can't wait to share this in the library and with my kids!
Thanks NetGalley for this ARC!
