After an initial moment of rejection, the unicorns learn that their party is much more fun when everyone is welcome. Through its bright, glittery illustrations and bouncy text, this book provides a gentle and accessible way to talk about kindness, empathy, and the wonderful things that happen when we open our hearts to new friends.
