Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

This sprightly story centering on a fantastical creature meetup spotlights self-acceptance. With a loud voice and helpful nature, Wee Unicorn struggles with a single problem: "She wasn't what everyone expected a unicorn to be. Wee Unicorn WASN'T magic." Friendly mountain giants reassure, "Just do your own thing," but it takes repeat encounters --one frightening and one conciliatory--with a loch creature of lore for the horned heroine to embrace her own kindheartedness. As Wee follows a path toward self-discovery, McLaren weaves in classic fairy tale entities: fluttering fairies offer commentary, selkies provide conflict, and a comic side plot spins an origin story for the Loch Ness "monster"'s name. Cool-toned artwork has the appealing look of screen printing, amplifying the takeaway that belief in oneself is a beautiful thing. Ages 3--7. (Jan.)
