Afronia is known for being bright and colorful, but what happens when a disgraced unicorn wants to take the color away? Join unicorn best friends Divine and Unique as they journey to save Afronia in this all-new, action-packed graphic novel that celebrates Black joy and beauty.
Welcome to the mystical land of Afronia, where life is good and full of color. The Afro Unicorns can't wait to celebrate the annual Festival of Crowns. But on the way to the festival, Divine and Unique come across Castle Monotonic, which is home to the mysterious Madame Imperious who wants to drain all the color from Afronia. Madame Imperious has already started draining the color from a young Afrosaurus. It's up to Unique and Divine to save Afronia and the Afrosaurus. Otherwise, their magical land might be doomed . . . FOREVER!
This full-color graphic novel is great for young readers beginning their graphic novel journey and graphic novel enthusiasts alike. It also features a Dyslexia-friendly font.
When Afro Unicorn creator April Showers realized that her favorite emoji—the unicorn!—was only available in white, she was inspired to create a more inclusive brand for children of color to celebrate how magical, unique, and divine they truly are.
"The brand, created by author Showers, has a cultural resonance that cannot be understated, and young readers will see important aspects of Black beauty and empowerment reflected in the characterization and storytelling of the Afro Unicorns. . . this appealing unicorn book has a significant underpinning of inclusivity." - School Library Journal

      K-Gr 3-Two Afro Unicorns named Divine and Unique are gearing up for the big Festival of Crowns celebration, but their journey to the festivities gets waylaid by a tearful afrosaurus and a missing crown. With pluck and ingenuity in spades, Divine and Unique use their problem-solving skills to capture the crown from Castle Monotonic and save the day. Due to their altruism in the face of danger, both Afro Unicorns earn their signature powers bestowed by the elder unicorns, the Superiors. The appeal of this graphic novel, as with most licensed tie-ins, will be strongest with those who are already dedicated fans of the Afro Unicorn character. The brand, created by author Showers, has a cultural resonance that cannot be understated, and young readers will see important aspects of Black beauty and empowerment reflected in the characterization and storytelling of the Afro Unicorns. VERDICT Light and fun on the surface, this appealing unicorn book has a significant underpinning of inclusivity. Recommended purchase for early reader graphic novel collections.-Sarah Simpson
