I love everything I have read by Kat Merewether, and this didn’t disappoint. This story teaches children to celebrate who they are, and their uniqueness. It follows Kiwicorn, a kiwi with a rainbow unicorn horn who shares all the ways they are wonderful and unique. I especially love that this extended to fighting for the rights of others!

The pictures are adorable and fun. The book has a rainbow color scheme, so splashes of color are found throughout.

I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking for fun, celebratory way to talk about diversity with their children!

Thank you Rosen Publishing Group and NetGalley for the ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!

This was a really sweet book. The illustrations are really what set it apart though, and my kids loved the kiwicorn! The story is fairly simple and reads more like affirmations, but by the end of it my kids were chiming in with “Kiwicorn!” along with the story!

Such a sweet and simple book about being unique. I loved the colorful illustrations and characters! I would definitely buy this for anybody with children.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book for free in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

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.

I knew as soon as I saw this cute cover I had to see if it was a good pick for my first grade class. I think they would love it! It’s all about being proud to be who you are. I especially liked the little kiwicorn’s “stay weird” shirt! Thank you for this advanced copy.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!
