Frances Lincoln ISBN: 9781786035882 £12.99
First Editions is a new sub-imprint of Frances Lincoln Books showcasing debut texts. This is the first book by Beatrice Blue, a freelance artist living in Montreal, which sets out to explain how unicorns got their horns. The story resonates with kindness and a willingness to go the extra mile to help a friend, and the illustrations have a natural exuberance that is entirely in keeping with the underlying message. Throw in a spot of magic and imagination, and there is a text that will keep small children absorbed for some time. Watch out for subsequent titles relating to mermaids and dragons.
