Book Cover & Preview Text
Pinky Ponky jumped to her feet and followed the sound until she happened upon—would you believe?—a baby unicorn. Pinky could not believe her luck. She loved unicorns. And this unicorn had heart-shaped hooves! But the unicorn looked very sad. And instead of a beautiful twirly horn on his head, there was only a little stump.
“Hello, baby unicorn. What happened to your horn?” asked Pinky Ponky.
On hearing this, the unicorn started crying even more.
“Oh, I’m sorry, little unicorn. I didn’t mean to upset you!” said Pinky Ponky, hugging the baby unicorn. “Can I help you?”
“Yes, please. Can you help me find my horn?” asked the unicorn. “I have been searching everywhere for it since it broke off. I don’t know where it could have fallen.”
So Pinky Ponky helped the baby unicorn look for his horn. They searched all through the forest and even in the next forest. But the horn was nowhere to be found.
“Cheer up, baby unicorn,” said Pinky Ponky. “It’s only a horn.”
The baby unicorn shook his head sadly and replied, “It’s my unicorn horn. Without my unicorn horn, I have no unicorn magic.”
“Twoot twoot twhoooo,” came a hooting voice. “Oh my, that is the funniest thing I have heard in a hundred years. Ha ha ha whoo whoo whoooo.”
Pinky Ponky and the unicorn jumped in fright when they heard the hooting voice.
“It’s coming from up in the tree,” whispered Pinky Ponky.
They looked up and saw a wise old owl, laughing.
“What is so funny?” asked the unicorn.
“You think your unicorn magic is in your horn,” hooted the wise old owl. “You think because you’ve lost your horn, you’ve lost your magic. Ha ha ha! Now that is funny. Ha ha ha whoo whooooo.”

About the Author
Dear parents and carers,
There are certain messages I would love for children to receive from this story. Asking them a few guiding questions after reading it might help land the messages for them.
1.Where do you think your magic is?
2.Baby unicorn’s magic didn’t work when he wanted what beautiful unicorn had – wings. Why do you think that is? When is your magic most powerful?
3.Baby unicorn’s heart reminded him just how much he wanted to cross the big river. But he really didn’t know how he was going to. But he didn’t give up. He listened to his heart and he believed he could cross it and he set off to do it. What magical things happened when he listened, believed and bravely started following his heart?
4.Pinky’s dream was to find dinosaurs. But in that moment her heart told her to join baby unicorn on his journey. And still her dream came true! How do you think this happened? Even when her heart told her to do something a little different to searching for dinosaurs? Does your heart know everything?
How wonderful if we could give a child their dreams.
