A perfect gift for the unicorn lovers in your life, this lovely and utterly transporting picture book tells the story of what every little girl wishes would happen to her: a girl finds and takes care of a lost baby unicorn.

Margaret's whole world changes when her family moves to a cottage by the sea to be near her grandma. One evening, Margaret spots a mist over the water. No, that's not mist...clouds maybe? No, they're unicorns descending onto the shore! They vanish as quickly as they'd appeared, but accidentally leave behind a baby, tangled in the weeds. Margaret, lonely and in need of a friend, brings him home and cares for him through the fall and winter. Together, they chase the waves, stomp on frozen puddles, and build snow unicorns. When spring finally comes around, and the other unicorns return, Margaret's takes her small friend back to his family... but these two won't forget one another. And though Margaret misses him, she has made a new friend, and her new cottage is starting to feel like home. With all the feel of a classic, here is a picture book young readers will want to revisit again and again.

Now I believe in unicorns
Just adorable. Very nice, kind and gentle book about friendship between a baby unicorn and a girl. The place is shown so that you start believing that there’s really this village somewhere on our planet. So I told my 7 year old daughter that now I believe in unicorns and this is really true, I feel like this. It’s a miracle.

My 3-year-old grand girl loves unicorns & I wanted a book that was not Hollywood interpretations. This book fits the bill perfectly with an intriguing fairy tale story set on the British Isles. Illustrations are sumptuous and invite exploration by reader and child.

I got this book for my 5-year-old grandniece, who loves unicorns. This book has an "old fashioned" feel to it, in the best sense. The illustrations are not bright or cartoon-ish, but almost like paintings. The story is sweet. I was somewhat concerned that my niece would be upset that the little girl can't keep the baby unicorn, but she loves the story and understands that the unicorn needs to be wild and free, and with his unicorn family. Very pleased with this purchase!

I'm in my mid 30s and bought this for myself on my birthday a couple of years ago. It's incredibly lovely. I keep giving my copy away to children I know and getting myself a replacement. The story is very touching and would be great for a child who is adjusting to a new environment/situation, struggling to make friends, or simply loves unicorns / stories with a touch of magic. I love Briony May Smith's work and highly recommend her other books too.

What a beautiful book! The illustrations are gorgeous and the story is heart-warming and lovely. The artwork on each page is so wonderful you want to frame them all! Makes one want a little unicorn to care for. A perfect book for every little one’s collection (and for the young at heart).
