   Additional Information  
 
  Nicolo dreams about meeting a unicorn. What will it look like? he wonders. What will it eat? Will he be able to ride on its back all the way to the moon? The grown-ups in Nicolo's life tell him to stop dreaming and get ready for school, finish his dinner, do his homework, and play with his friends. He should know there is no such thing as a unicorn! But Nicolo doesn't want to stop dreaming, and keeps searching for answers. He finally visits his grandfather, who explains to him that unicorns are everywhere-in music, books, art, and more. You just have to know how to look for them. This sweet, uplifting story of a boy refusing to give up his dream will be treasured by kids of all ages, and is brought to life through illustrator Bimba Landmann's colorful, dreamlike paintings. Bronze powder used in a special printing process lends magical touches of gold throughout. The text is simple to follow, ready for enjoyment by readers of all levels.
