Here’s hoping for more unicorn books from a wider array of voices in the future-because unicorns are for everyone.Īre there any awesome unicorn books I missed, either favorites from your childhood or new releases? Let us know in the comments!
I spent days sifting through unicorn books and failed pretty hard when it came to locating more written by authors of color perhaps it’s an issue of the specificity of the topic. I’ve separated these books about unicorns loosely by age group, but does age really matter to unicorns? I will note that this book list turned out very white, almost entirely so. Here’s a list of 50 books about unicorns (not just unicorns as “also appearing”), both old and new, that are well worth reading. And while I think dragons have taken over fantasy that involves magical creatures, unicorns are still gamely hanging onto the written word, just waiting for their chance to take over again.
I’m not sure when dragons suddenly took over from unicorns as being “cooler” in my brain, but they never fully expunged these magical horses and their stab-a-guy-ready horns. I don’t know about you, but I went through a serious unicorn phase when I was a kid, which lasted well into high school not because of Lisa Frank, but rather thanks to Sue Dawe and her ability to make unicorns look like they were all stepping off of a heavy metal album cover.
