At first glance, Unicorns in Uniforms is a joyful rhyming picture book filled with magical creatures, playful jobs, and brightly colored chaos. But underneath the sparkles is a surprisingly timely story about communities stepping up for one another during moments of crisis.
Unicorns in Uniforms by New York Times bestselling author Beth Ferry, illustrated by A. N. Kang (on sale May 26, 2026).
In a magical village populated by unicorns, pixies, trolls, and sprites, every unicorn has an important role to play, from firefighters and bakers to builders, doctors, and mail carriers. But when a dangerous dragon storm threatens their town with floods, lightning, and fire, the unicorns must work together to protect their neighbors, rebuild their homes, and help their community recover.
With natural disasters and extreme weather becoming an increasingly visible part of children’s lives, Unicorns in Uniforms offers an optimistic and age-appropriate way to talk about resilience, cooperation, and helping others. Beth Ferry balances those themes with her signature warmth and humor, while A. N. Kang’s charming illustrations keep the story playful, hopeful, and fun.
