Britta Stromeyer - Look at Me. Who do you See?

  • Book Passage 51 Tamal Vista Boulevard Corte Madera, CA, 94925 United States (map)

Everybody thinks Unice is a rhino. What if I tell you she's actually a unicorn? I bet you'll say, "She looks like a rhino. She is a rhino." But Unice doesn't feel like a rhino, and her insides are all mixed-up. She feels trapped . . . until she meets a tiger with glitzy rainbow stripes.

This story will delight all ages celebrating every child's uniqueness. It is a great conversation starter for home and school or for anyone working with young children curious about accepting and nurturing their identities.
