"The Christmas Unicorn" by Anna Currey is a gorgeous and atmospheric story set in the days leading up to Christmas, about one little girl's magical encounter with a unicorn.
Christmas is just days away. A little girl called Milly and her Mum are staying at Grandpa's house.
Dad has been kept away but will join them just as soon as he can.
But Milly feels a little forlorn, away from her friends and without her Dad.
But then something wonderful happens. Milly meets Florian, a unicorn.
One snowy night, he patters into Grandpa's house and transforms Milly's Christmas, filling it with friendship, surprise and sparkle.
Somehow, Florian makes all Milly's wishes come true.
Anna has crafted a beautifully written and sensitively illustrated picture book that will delight every generation as families come together at Christmas.
