Sugarlump and the Unicorn

Reach for this book when your child is feeling restless, experiencing a case of the 'I-wants,' or wondering if things would be better if they were someone else. This rhyming adventure follows Sugarlump, a rocking horse who wishes for a life beyond the nursery. With the help of a magical unicorn, he tries out several different lives, from the excitement of the circus to the speed of the racetrack. However, each new role comes with its own set of challenges and loneliness. Ideal for children aged 3 to 6, Julia Donaldson's rhythmic prose explores the complex balance between ambition and contentment. Through Sugarlump's journey, children learn that while change can be exciting, there is a special kind of magic in being loved for exactly who you are. It provides a gentle framework for discussing gratitude and the idea that the 'perfect' life often depends on the friends we share it with.
