Dressed in her favorite scarf and leg warmers, a Unicorn slides through the snow and down a rainbow that is as unique as she is. Suddenly, with a big
crash,
she collides with none other than Santa Claus himself, who is busy testing his sleigh! Both of them panic; how can this be?
The Unicorn is confused because, after all, Santa Claus isn't real, right? Santa Claus quickly points out that Unicorns are mythical creatures, at least according to the books! So, if everyone says they should not exist, then how can they be speaking to one another? Questioning their own existence, they sit down and explore what it means to be real. Could it be that there is more to being real than what people believe?
When Santa Met a Unicorn
is not just a Christmas book. With adorable drawings and rhyming sentences, it shows the two main characters working through justifying their own existence. It is a wholesome story that is meant to encourage readers to believe in themselves, no matter what others might say or think. It also aims to remind us not to deprive ourselves of the many wonders in life that we choose not to enjoy because they seem to defy logic.
