Title: If I Found a Wistful Unicorn- a Book of Love
Author: Ann Ashford
ISBN: 1561450472
Ages: 4-8

Synopsis: (Taken from Amazon)

Few books have so touched the hearts and minds of its readers as IF I FOUND A WISTFUL UNICORN. And few books impress nearly everyone who pick them up – no matter what their age or interests. But that’s the way it’s been since Peachtree first presented this gift of love in 1978. The first book published by Peachtree Publishers, IF I FOUND A WISTFUL UNICORN has won the Award for Juvenile Literature from the Council of Authors and Journalists. This book grabs its readers and works a magic that recognizes no age, no particular time, but encompasses all in its beautiful simplicity. It has been involved in weddings and funerals, and teachers, ministers, and counselors have used it in their work. Simple yet profound, IF I FOUND A WISTFUL UNICORN continues to spread its tender message around the world.

My Comments:

I can’t express to you how much I loved this book. The words, to a child – they are beautiful. I believe my parents still have it at their house, somewhere.  So I hope to somehow score a copy for my daughter. It has such sentimental value to me that I wholeheartedly believe that whomever reads it to a child, will create a loving feeling inside that child for all of eternity. There is no doubt in my mind that this child will feel a sense of comfort and unconditional love, reading this book with a parent or guardian. If you can not tell – I have fond memories of this book. :)
