by Ann Ashford, Bill Drath (Illustrator)

Overview

What would you do if you found a wistful unicorn?

This charming gift-sized 25th-anniversary edition of If I Found a Wistful Unicorn tells the story of a relationship with a touch as gentle as the soft brush of a butterfly's wing.

The disarmingly simple text goes straight to the heart of what love really is. Through thoughtful and fanciful questions, author Ann Ashford explores what we risk for love and what special rewards may be waiting for us in return.
