Do you understand the meaning of the word, empathy? It means you can feel and understand the feelings of others. In Emma Meyer’s Unicorns, School and Me, young Fleur is learning about magical powers, something her new friends have in abundance. But these new friends are already something special, something that is pure magic in itself. How could Fleur have a magical power like empathy when her new friends, even with their magical powers, struggle to understand the meaning of the word? You see, her new friends are really unicorns who take on human form when they are with others, especially at school. Fleur discovered their secret but promised to keep it a secret. And now she’s having the best time of her life, both at school and at home.

Emma Meyer’s early chapter book, Unicorns, School and Me, is a fantasy like no other. Told in simple language so early readers can easily follow along, the story describes Fleur’s adventures as a new school year begins and some unusual new students join her class. With interesting drawings, the story moves along with lots of energy and excitement. The chapters break up the story into manageable and topical sections. The fantasy adventure allows young readers to learn more about empathy, helping others, and accepting others for their differences. Like Fleur, young readers will learn tactics to help them fit in, while at the same time stand out with their own unique powers. A great and fun read that will both entertain and inspire young readers.
