#BubblesStruggles
Bubbles the Unicorn has always felt different to everyone else, but never really felt unwelcome before, thanks to other unicorns like Mommy and teacher. But what happens when they notice not everyone feels like Mommy? Should Bubbles do what others think they should, or should Bubbles worry about being true to themself?
What happens when what makes Bubbles happy doesn’t make others happy, too? Is it fair for other unicorns to decide who Bubbles is, even when that’s not how Bubbles feels? Luckily, there are adults that care as much about what’s right as they do Bubbles, and they stand up for what they believe in and give Bubbles a voice.

I received an electronic ARC from Austin MaCauley through ALA Grab a Galley.
Bubbles struggles with who they are. They know they are different from other unicorns - not just in coloring but in style and how they feel about themselves. I love the supportive mom character who encourages Bubbles to be proud of who they are and to ignore others who say mean things. However, one day at school, the teasing and mean comments are overwhelming and they share this with their teacher. The teacher takes time to explain how some unicorns are non-binary. Bubbles finds the courage to share that is who they are. The illustrations are colorful and powerful. Readers can see the character feelings clearly. The text is a bit long on some pages so this may not be a read alone. It can be read together to open dialogue.
