Perfectly Pegasus

PreS-Gr 3–In a companion title to Sima’s Not Quite Narwhal, Nimbus soars among the stars, a Pegasus among the constellations who makes wishes for a friend upon every falling star she sees. One night she follows the path of a star all the way to an island where she meets Kelp, the unicorn, and all his pointy friends. They help her to look for the fallen star, and she has enough fun that when it’s time to return to the skies, she knows she will miss them. But her need to find the kind of friend she has in mind is so strong that she goes home anyway. Even the youngest reader will be on track for what happens next; Nimbus realizes who her real friends are. This is a reassuring follow-up to the first book and just as generous and inclusive. Sima’s “pointy” creatures are adorable, helping create a warm and welcoming environment for Nimbus, and children will love figuring out just what they are, or are not.
