In the lush, protected grasslands of Kaziranga, where elephants roam and hornbills soar, lives a gentle and quiet one-horned rhinoceros named Penelope.
Each year, the unicorns gather beneath the largest apple tree to share ancient tales of floods, famines, and forest lore. But this year, Penelope steps forward - shy yet determined - to share a story unlike any they've heard before: her own.
With her stubby nose and wrinkled gray skin, Penelope looks different from the shimmering unicorns around her. But when she begins to speak of a time when rhinos were hunted for their horns, her voice carries a message of loss, courage, and an unlikely alliance with kind-hearted villagers and wild friends who rose up to protect the last of her kind.
Based on the real struggles of the one-horned rhinos of India, Penelope and The Unicorns is a tender and powerful picture book about finding your voice, honoring your truth, and discovering that bravery comes in many shapes and sizes.
Perfect for readers ages 4 and up, this inspiring tale celebrates conservation, compassion, and the magic of being different.
