Unicorn Playlist by Dana Simpson
5.0
Meet Phoebe, an average 9yo whose best friend happens to be a unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. But Marigold isn't an imaginary friend, she is very much real, as are the unicorns, goblins and dragons that populate the pages beside human friends.
Reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes (but with more sparkles, less pouncing), Unicorn Playlist is an irreverent slice-of-life comic that addresses both ordinary events and big issues.
There is even a non-binary unicorn, and a couple of pages/strips devoted to pronouns and the addressing of said unicorn. This was done perfectly, without being awkward or preachy.
This book is one of a long line of comics about Phoebe and Marigold, and while it does work ad a standalone comic book, I plan to look the rest of thr series up later.
An overall fun read. I loved the music references scattered throughout.
