Afronia is known for being bright and colorful, but what happens when a disgraced unicorn wants to take the color away? Join unicorn best friends Divine and Unique as they journey to save Afronia in this all-new, action-packed graphic novel that celebrates Black joy and beauty. This new series is based on the hit lifestyle brand, Afro Unicorn! Welcome to the mystical land of Afronia, where life is good and full of color. Unique and Divine are two unicorns who can't wait to celebrate the annual Festival of Crowns. But on the way to the festival, they run into the mysterious Madame Imperious who wants to drain all the color from Afronia. It's up to Unique and Divine to save Afronia, or else their magical land might be doomed. This full-color graphic novel is great for young readers beginning their graphic novel journey and graphic novel enthusiasts alike. It also features a Dyslexia-friendly font. When Afro Unicorn creator April Showers realized that her favorite emoji--the unicorn!--was only available in white, she was inspired to create a more inclusive brand for children of color to celebrate how magical, unique, and divine they truly are.
