About this item
When your best friend is a unicorn, every day is a stroll down the red carpet. Phoebe Howell's unicorn BFF, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, is happy to provide the celebrity treatment - teaching Phoebe fancy new spells, giving her a ride to school so she doesn't have to ride the bus, and even negotiating with the tooth fairy on her behalf. But when Phoebe starts noticing that unicorns have become a trendy fashion statement, she doesn't feel quite so unique. Fortunately, she's distracted by adventures including a visit to the unicorn community and a trip to the woods to see her friend Dakota receive an unusual honor at the goblin award ceremony. Unicorn Famous is filled with amusing examples of the extraordinary lengths friends will go to make each other feel special.

After winning the Comic Strip Superstar contest in 2009, she developed the comic strip "Phoebe and Her Unicorn" (originally known online as "Heavenly Nostrils") , currently syndicated in nearly 200 newspapers.There have been three "Phoebe and Her Unicorn" book collections, to date. The first, Phoebe and Her Unicorn, won a 2015 Washington State Book Award. The second, Unicorn on a Roll, won a 2016 Pacific Northwest Book Award.
