The Unicorn in the Barn
The Unicorn in the Barn | Jacqueline Ogburn
4 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
For years people have claimed to see a mysterious white deer in the woods around Chinaberry Creek. It always gets away. One evening, Eric Harper thinks he spots it. But a deer doesn't have a coat that shimmers like a pearl. And a deer certainly isn't born with an ivory horn curling from its forehead. When Eric discovers the unicorn is hurt and being taken care of by the vet next door and her daughter, Allegra, his life is transformed. A tender tale of love, loss, and the connections we make, The Unicorn in the Barn shows us that sometimes ordinary life takes extraordinary turns.

A warm hug of a book. The magic and sweetness of fantastical creatures and animal lovers contrasted with the harder realities of confronting mortality, and learning to respect the autonomy of wild animals.
Might have originally picked it up because I love Rebecca Green's illustrations, but I'm just as enamoured by Jacqueline K Ogburn's cozy, touching story.

When Eric's family sells part of their property to afford his grandmother's medical needs, a surprise awaits him when a new veterinarian and her daughter move in. Eric soon finds out about the unicorn in the barn, but a bigger secret is about to unfold.

This story of family love and animal kinship for upper elementary is beautifully illustrated by Rebecca Green.
