A wish for a bigger place in the world

A tiny unicorn’s wish to grow leads to a quest for something even smaller, after the usual signs of wish-granting luck fail to appear. A dandelion puff gives him one more chance, and a clever princess joins the search. The story’s central surprise connects the unicorn’s wish to becoming a big brother, bringing the fairy-tale quest into the territory of a changing family. Its combination of mythical creatures, a wish, and a new sibling gives the picture-book premise a clear focus on size, belonging, and family change.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For children ages 4–8 who enjoy unicorns, princesses, and fairy-tale quests.
  • For families seeking a picture book about becoming a big brother.
  • For shared storytime with young children.

Book overview

The fan-favorite pint-sized unicorn makes a wish to be big in this modern fairy tale from the Caldecott-Honor winning creator of Have You Ever Seen a Flower?.

Once upon a time, there was a teeny-weeny unicorn that wished to be big. But he never saw a shooting star, and a ladybug never landed on his arm. So when he comes across a dandelion poof, he decides to give his wish one last try. With a little help from a gust of lucky wind and a clever princess, the Teeny-Weeny Unicorn sets off on a quest to find something littler than he is.

Little does he know, he is in for a BIG surprise...as he becomes a BIG brother! With characters that will crack you up and illustrations to brighten any day, here is a perfect picture book to share at storytime, again and again.
