Synopsis

The fan-favorite pint-sized unicorn makes a wish to be big in this modern fairy tale from the Caldecott-Honor winning creator of Have You Ever Seen a Flower?.

Once upon a time, there was a teeny-weeny unicorn that wished to be big. But he never saw a shooting star, and a ladybug never landed on his arm. So when he comes across a dandelion poof, he decides to give his wish one last try. With a little help from a gust of lucky wind and a clever princess, the Teeny-Weeny Unicorn sets off on a quest to find something littler than he is.

Little does he know, he is in for a BIG surprise...as he becomes a BIG brother! With characters that will crack you up, here is a audiobook to share at storytime, again and again.

Riffing on his theme from The Teeny-Weeny Unicorn (2024), Harris returns to his adorable protagonist’s search for something smaller than he.

I adored the Teeny-Weeny Unicorn. The pastel illustration and the story were top notch. Truly Caldecott worthy. Just received The Teeny-Weeny Unicorn's Great Big Wish. I'm in awe. I love it even more than the first book. I didn't think that would be possible for a sequel. Great Big Wish is phenomena......more

Quotes

★ "The teeny-weeny unicorn is back for a new adventure, and here his journey is magical, as one would expect from a unicorn, and full of inventive, silly surprises, as one would expect from author-illustrator Harris." —Booklist, starred review

"No need to wish for another delightful unicorn tale. It’s already been granted." —Kirkus Reviews

"[A] charming tale....Pair with the original book for a heartwarming set of stories about a unicorn who is just the right size." —School Library Journal

"An irresistible read-aloud if only for the pleasure of saying “teeny-weeny-er” five times. Fine-tuned wackiness, and an original, deadpan addition to the body of literature celebrating new siblings." —The Horn Book
