Queenstown, Otago Aug 6, 2018 (Issuewire.com) - This week The Kids Book Company released the first book in the world where the customer can fully personalize both the child and their equine friend. With 8 kids and 6 horses or ponies to choose from, My Secret Unicorn is a deeply customizable world first for children’s books.
My Secret Unicorn is the story of your heroic child saving a Unicorn that’s lying hurt in the forest. Led there by their horse with whom they share a special bond, each child works out how to save the creature and in doing so, discovers their horse is secretly a Unicorn.
“This isn’t an airy-fairy unicorn book”, author Jessica Stall says, “It’s effectively about empowering kids to believe they can deal with difficult situations by taking a moment to assess and then problem solve. It’s practical and magical,” she explains.
“When we tested it with our group of mums and kids, the response was overwhelming. At heart, every kid who has or wants a pony thinks they’re secretly a unicorn. This taps into that feeling of special uniqueness,” Stall adds.
With an ‘educating on the sly’ note to adults at the back of the book, My Secret Unicorn can be a great vehicle for discussing some tricky topics with kids - from what to do if someone is hurt to how animals should be treated.
Like all The Kids Book Company titles, My Secret Unicorn is highly interactive and created to work across a range of age groups. For the young ones, there’s a teddy or horseshoes to find. For the older ones, there are coded unicorn facts to discover. “We know how much these books can mean as gifts, so we make them grow with the kids, staying relevant, meaningful and treasured,” Stall concludes.
Originally, this book was conceived as a way pony clubs or other community groups can fundraise. As The Kids Book Company developed the narrative further, testing it with the harshest six and seven-year-old critics, it became clear to the team that this story of empowerment, kindness, magic, and unicorns has broad appeal, kids and adults alike genuinely loving it.
The company was faced with a challenge of choosing just six horses as horses are as individual as kids themselves. With some practice and feedback from other titles with the kids, the company was delighted with the end result - like any book, a bit of imagination is required on the part of the reader.
