"I fell in love with Unice, and you will too in this delightful story that shows that anyone can be who they want to be!"

-Jazz Jennings, author of Being Jazz and star of TLC series I Am Jazz

Everybody thinks Unice is a rhino. What if I tell you she's actually a unicorn? I bet you'll say, "She looks like a rhino. She is a rhino." But Unice doesn't feel like a rhino, and her insides are all mixed-up. She feels trapped . . . until she meets a tiger with glitzy rainbow stripes.

This story will delight all ages celebrating every child's uniqueness. It is a great conversation starter for home and school or for anyone working with young children curious about accepting and nurturing their identities.

She teaches creative writing for ages ten to ninety-nine, inspiring students to find their own voices. She's the proud mom of two children, a nonbinary artist teenager and a budding middle-grade writer. When she's not dreaming, drafting, or discovering new characters and stories, Britta enjoys spending time with her family, horseback riding, and reading everything from picture books to romantic comedies. (She'll admit, though, that she skips the scary stuff, because, well . . . it's scary!) At the end of the day, above all, she prefers unicorns and rainbows.
