Unicorn stories for kids
Unicorn stories get dismissed as pure sparkle, but the good ones are almost always about being different in a group. A horn that grows crooked or magic that arrives late gives a child a gentle way into a real worry.

How to get the most from these
Sparkle first, substance underneath
The glitter is what gets a four-year-old to sit down. What holds them is a unicorn who cannot do the one thing every other unicorn can do — a feeling most children recognize immediately.
Good for children who compare themselves
If your child has started measuring themselves against classmates, a unicorn who is late to their magic gives you a way to talk about it that does not sound like a conversation about them.
