(Ages 4-8) Written by Keira E. Barnes when she was in the first grade, Korny the Caticorn is a delightful picture book about finding friendship and joy in our differences. Korny is a playful caticorn who longs to fit in with the unicorns down the road—but no matter how hard she tries, she just doesn’t play like a unicorn. After one too many mishaps, Korny sets out on a globe-trotting adventure to find another caticorn. Though she never does, she meets wonderful new friends on every continent who teach her fun new ways to play. When she finally returns home to Georgia, a little sad and still the only caticorn she knows, Korny gets the happiest surprise: all her friends from around the world come to visit, showing her that you don’t have to be the same to belong.
A heartwarming story that celebrates curiosity, resilience, and the magic of being uniquely yourself.
