A silly and colorful little book about qualities that make each child or person unique. The illustrations are cute. The book has few words.

*Kiwi-tastic Fun!*
This empowering little story has my 2-year-old gleefully shouting 'KIWICORN!' at every opportunity! The vibrant and whimsical illustrations captivate her attention, while the playful yet meaningful mini-mantras are perfect for building confidence and self-love in little ones. It's a delightful read that brings smiles and positivity, making it a must-have for any child’s bookshelf!

Thank you NetGalley!

This is such a cute book. I read it with my 7 year old daughter. She loved that Kiwicorn had a rainbow horn and described it as “beautiful”. I loved its empowering message to embrace our differences and celebrate all that makes us different.

An adorable little story about being yourself, and why it is so important to be who you are. I think many children will benefit from this story.

A weak effort, surprisingly, given Windmill often manage to claim fabulous lost picture books and bring them back from whichever corner of the world in which they were found. Here is a kiwi with a dazzling rainbow bill, as if it's crossed with a unicorn, giving us a handful of those platitudinous affirmations we're supposed to say if we're that way inclined, that are introduced each and every time with some alliteration, and illustrated in a reasonable way. To close, we're told we're all "incredible, independent individuals" – which seems a bit boringly uniform, if we're all supposed to be it. Even considering I'm nowhere near the intended readers here – and just don't ask who those actually are – I can't see much merit to it. Two stars is being generous.

With the way the world is, I love books that t teach kids to celebrate who they are. To be proud of who they are. To be who they are without fear of the way others will n see them or what they say. What a sweet read

This book is just as adorable as you'd expect from the title and cover, if not more so. Kiwicorn is an empowering, uplifting, and incredibly sweet book that celebrates being unique. The illustrations are colorful, whimsical, and just plain cute. My kids loved this story, and I loved sharing it with them!

Thank you to Rosen Publishing Group for gifting my family with an ARC to review. All opinions are our own. We loved it!

3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very cute and colourful book!

Little one and I really enjoyed reading this book together. This book will be great especially for little older kids.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who want to read fun and exciting book with their kid.
You can definitely make the book very interactive while you read it.

This charming story celebrates uniqueness with beautiful illustrations and kind, simple words to match, helping children understand emotions and embrace diversity. The book delivers the important message that being different is wonderful. This book is aimed at a younger audience (though I read it to my 5- and 7-year olds and they both thought it was very cute, too). Kiwicorn offers fun self-confidence lessons for young readers. Kids will love it, but parents may be left wanting by the lack of story. If Kiwicorn had a spinoff book or series that was built for a slightly older audience, with more of a plot line, we would read it without question. The illustrations are so adorable and Kiwicorn is ultra lovable. Not quite a 5-star read (because of the text, not the stunning drawings), but the kids and I would give it a 4, knowing that it is definitely meant for a younger listener.

The words to this picture book are just meh, but you know what? It doesn’t matter! Kiwicorn, who resembles a kiwi-narwhal more than a kiwi-unicorn, is sooo stinkin’ cute! Young readers will adore this self-confident little guy, although much more than their parents. Kiwicorn doles out some good advice, but nothing that readers won’t find in a better package elsewhere. A five-star read for the kiddos, a three-star read for parents, averaged to four stars.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley, Rosen Publishing Group and Windmill Books in exchange for an honest review.

This children's book is so colorful and cute! Just adorable! And a great message ... that its ok and fun to be unique. Adorable artwork.

Not very many words in this 32 page book, just right for beginning readers.

Publication date is August 2024.

Many thanks to NetGalley, author Kat Merewether and publisher Windmill Books for approving my request to read the advance review copy in exchange for an honest review.

Super cute and positive book with beautiful and vibrant pictures. After each question (“Who is strong, sassy, and smart?”), my daughter would say “Me!” Some of the words were beyond her vocabulary and some were a little difficult for me to explain, but it did open up good conversation. My three year old was a little less interested, but he did like the cute kiwi. Would have liked a little more story, but maybe could make a good sequel!

The art is really cute but I would have liked more of a story element in this picture book.

I added the book to The Storygraph

So cute! This was a perfect book for my daughter to read aloud to me. It was short but challenged her with bigger words and she loved Kiwicorn!

Thanks to the publisher for the arc via Netgalley!

I thought that this was a lovely little book.

The illustrations are wonderful, nice, bright, clear and very cute!

I really liked the idea behind this book and Kiwicorn is a cute character - who wouldn't love a unicorn Kiwi with a rainbow striped beak!

The book is easy to follow and understand and it is perfect for the age range given too. This could easily be a character that has it's own little series of books, or even TV and I am cure the kids would love it - much better than some of the other stuff currently out there - lots of positive messages!

It is 4 stars from me for this one, highly recommended!

Kiwicorn is an adorable picture book about a Kiwi with a rainbow striped beak. I absolutely LOVED the illustrations. They were so fun and colorful. I was a little disappointed that this book didn't have more of a story (it was really just listing qualities that Kiwicorn possessed) That being said, I think it would be a great motivational book for youngsters!

Thanks to NetGalley, Kat Merewether, and Rosen Publishing for the chance to read and review. My opinions are my own.
