Aquicorn Cove by K. O'Neill
4.0

Pure Katie O'Neill! Soft, adorable, sweet, loving, earnest, gentle, gorgeous illustrations. Lana's grieving her mom and her dad doesn't really get what she needs... but he's not a villain, just going through his own process of grief. Auntie Mae is a straight-up hottie willing to listen and learn and earns her the right to get back together with her unicorn-riding mermaid in the end. All of this plus a handy message about environmental interconnectedness, fixing mistakes, and sustainability!

tl;dr: QUEER, MER-UNICORN-RIDING MERMAIDS. A perfect gift for all the queer moms with young kiddos in your life. They'll honestly not even know what hit them.
