Far away in the north, at the edge of the Ancient Forest, lives a little unicorn.
Wee Unicorn is very small, and she’s very loud . . . but she’s not magic (and everyone knows unicorns are supposed to be magic!). Wee Unicorn would love to find friends to play with, but how can she fit in when she feels so different?
A fun-filled tale of adventure and finding friendship in the most unexpected places by Meg McLaren, winner of the Scottish Bookbug Picture Book Prize and shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize.
Meg graduated from the prestigious MA in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art. Printmaker, illustrator and unapologetic Hercule Poirot aficionado.
She now lives in Inverness (where she is trying to rebuild her natural Scots’ resolve against the cold) with her other half and their impressive Lego collection.
The Station Mouse (Anderson Press) won the Scottish Bookbug Picture Book Prize and Life is Magic (Anderson Press) was shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize.
