And then all the kids begin to believe in magic. And as the real world grows brighter and brighter, all kinds of other magical creatures appear, ending the book with the most dazzling array of imaginary creatures.

The little girl and her family present White; her friends are racially diverse.  A sweet trilogy conclusion.

School Library Journal

While many believe that unicorns are only make-believe, it's Uni, "the only unicorn who believed that little girls were REAL," who comes to visit a child via a swirling double-rainbow "between Here and There." Unfortunately, Uni is invisible to any who do not believe, including the girl's family and her friends, a mixed group of racially diverse children; their faces register puzzlement when introduced. This offering presents illustrations in a variety of sizes, enhanced by the fluidity of digitally painted images that continue beyond the frame of the page and so encourage page turns. Patterns of flowers enhance a folk-art range of houses in the small town setting with a colorfully imagined world of cartoon characters. VERDICT A suggested general purchase for libraries with readers who simply can't resist the latest unicorn book, this title pays tribute to the boundless power of imagination.—Mary Elam, Learning Media Services, Plano I.S.D., TX
