Unity the Understanding Unicorn
Unity the Understanding Unicorn
Big Feelings, Brave Hearts — An Alphabet Collection for Kids
By Jessica Schoettle
Unity is a unicorn who cares deeply about her friends. She notices feelings quickly and wants everyone to feel included, heard, and supported. Unity believes kindness helps friendships grow strong.
But sometimes, kindness alone is not enough.
When friends begin to disagree, both feel upset and want to be heard. Voices grow louder, feelings grow bigger, and Unity wants to fix the problem right away. She feels worried when she cannot make everyone feel better. With gentle guidance from her thoughtful friend, Thomas the Turtle, Unity learns an important new skill — helping friends understand each other.
As Unity practices listening to both sides and helping friends safely share their feelings, she discovers that understanding helps calm disagreements and brings friends closer together. Unity learns that she does not have to fix every problem. Sometimes, helping others feel heard is the most powerful kindness of all.
