Description
On a walk home from school, a trip to the store, or playing in the park, the opportunities for adventure are limited only by a child's imagination!
As grownups, we sometimes forget the world around us is filled with wonder. But through the eyes of a child, ordinary things become magical props in a wondrous story.
In a hidden antique toy store, Abigail finds an old umbrella that sets her and her dad off on an imaginative journey through the park. Or is it a magical wood?
Unicorn for a Day is based on a true story that happened when an otherwise ordinary walk home from school turned into a magical adventure. Join Abigail on a quest of heroic bravery, magical creatures, and yes—unicorns. When they discover someone in need, it's up to Abigail and her brave knight to save the day!
Interest Level: K-4 / Ages 4-9
