The First Unibear may have been my Mona Lisa… but The First Unicorn is going to be my Sistine Chapel!
Why did I write The First Unicorn
I love unicorns. I have loved unicorns since I was a very young child. I collected porcelain unicorn statues, unicorn posters and absolutely fell in love with the movie “The Last Unicorn”. I was drawn to anything about unicorns because they were beautiful, magical and good. They represented innocence, love and strength… like Jesus.
