The First Unicorn is more than just a charming story; it is an invitation to believe in the extraordinary power of kindness. In a world that often confuses magic with miracles, Shields reminds us that true wonder is found not in illusions but in acts of love and selflessness. This book does not just tell a story—it calls upon its readers, young and old, to be better, to give more, and perhaps, just perhaps, to earn a golden horn of their own.
Update on The First Unicorn
