My son told me about this incredible book they’d shared at school and I wanted to read it too but couldn’t find it on Libby or Borrow Box. Instead, I found this book by the same author and as a fan of unicorns I decided to give it a listen. 

It’s a beautiful children’s story about how the children in the town discover stories at the library. The librarian shares many stories with the children but also a personal one about how she got the unicorn and of the book burnings. 

I loved the story and I would recommend it to others to share with children. However, be aware that there is a fire, and if that’s a topic your child is triggered by then this might not be for them.
