If I Found a Wistful Unicorn

A Gift of Love

by Ann Ashford
illustrated by Bill Drath

What would you do if you found a wistful unicorn?

With a touch as gentle as the soft brush of a butterfly’s wing, If I Found a Wistful Unicorn tells the story of a relationship. The disarmingly simple text goes straight to the heart of what love really is. Through thoughtful and fanciful questions, author Ann Ashford explores what we risk for love and what special rewards may be waiting for us in return.

Bill Drath’s subdued watercolor illustrations perfectly capture the text’s gentle tone and important message. This book is meant for sharing with those special ones who touch your life.
