The World of Yaxin: Day of the Unicorn Hardcover – May 17, 2022

This was just a really beautiful book about the magic that is the Unicorn. Told in little snippets about a Unicorn family by a faun the story follows a family of unicorns from the meeting of two Unicorns to the birth of their baby. The story is poetic and absolutely beautiful in its simplicity. The art however is what makes this really stand out. It is absolutely stunning. Each page is filled with a magical and whimsical scene taking us through the beauty that is bringing a new life into the world. I think this would make a wonderful book for children of all ages but I can definitely see this being a centerpiece for a nursery theme and a wonderful gift for new mothers.Thanks to Netgalley and Diamond Book Distributors for the advanced copy of this truly beautiful book, this review is being left voluntarily.

'The World of Yaxin: Day of the Unicorn' with story and art by Manuel Arenas is a kind of visual poem about the birth of a unicorn.In a series of lush illustrations, we follow a unicorn from the dawn of unicorns through to the birth of a new unicorn. A tiny faun and a fairy accompany the unicorn through blowing petals, flocks of birds and blowing leaves.The verse that weaves through the book brings a good weight to the art and is really nice, but the illustrations are really why I liked this book.

Lovely story about a unicorn family with beautiful artwork. Be warned that some readers might find the birth scene artwork a bit much.I received an ARC via netgalley.
