All About:
I Wish I Were a Unicorn
I Wish I Were a Unicorn is a gender neutral, diverse and inclusive children's book for unicorn lovers young and old. Uniquely written without gender in a nameless narrative, using no pronouns for the main character, I Wish I Were a Unicorn will appeal to any child. Through rhyme and brilliant illustrations, your child will journey to the the realization that magic really does exist-and it lies within us all.
Perfect for readers who enjoyed books like Julian is a Mermaid; Pink is for Boys, and How to Catch a Unicorn!
Diversity • Inclusion • Positive Affirmations
At first glance, I Wish I Were a Unicorn is a simple and sweet story about a child who wishes to be a unicorn, only to discover the magic that resides within. But it's so much more!
This book contains themes of self-discovery and empowerment, promotes positive affirmations, and neutralizes gender stereotypes through illustration.
You'll find cultural and ability diversity in the illustrations. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so the goal is to show—through illustration—that colors, toys, games, activities, behavior, and interests have no gender. Keep your eyes open for gender pride flags within the illustrations as well. The main character themself wears a nonbinary pride flag sock.

A Few ★★★★★ Reviews from Amazon
"My kiddos loved this book. We are huge on self love, inclusion, and accepting people. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous! A very much needed addition to our unicorn collection."
Joy Haines
Such a beautifully perfect gift for my young non-binary child... ( Finally a book representing gender diverse kiddos that’s NOT ABOUT gender. Couldn’t love it more.

Beautiful story and remarkable illustrations. My 10 year old loved it. It’s a perfect night time story to end the day in a charming way. Uplifting and warm. Who doesn’t want to be a unicorn?!

About the Author
Author Visits!
Author visits are a great opportunity to have young readers connect with the writer of their favorite books. Author visits can create a lasting impression on students. They build relationships between kids and the written word, inspire them to pursue creative endeavors, and connect lessons learned in the classroom with the wider world. Bringing in authors to meet students humanizes them, it tells the students that they can aspire to be creative and successful and put something great into the world.
When's the Next Book Coming?
The process has started with the next book, I Wish I Were a Dragon, as I finish up the manuscript and Natasza starts character idea sketches. This book will feature a trans child and a non-binary adult. The story will be similar to I Wish I Were a Unicorn, with different character traits and values that are more focused on our inner power and intuition. We'll be doing another Kickstarter to fund the production, and we're hoping to be able to do that this Summer or Fall.
