🦄 A sweet, stretchy adventure about self-acceptance and the magic of being different! High above the world in the Candy Forest lived Thalia — a vision of pink sweetness, a model of grace made entirely of stretchy bubblegum, with a crystal unicorn horn that caught the morning light. But despite her beauty, Thalia often felt out of place. Too gooey. Too sticky. Too different. So she sets off on a journey through a magical candy world — the Licorice Forest, a Peppermint Maze, the Marshmallow Mountains, and Blackberry Bay — meeting extraordinary friends along the way. A giraffe who feels too tall. A minotaur who feels too wide. A hippo who feels too tough. And some familiar faces you might recognize... 🐕🐜 Each friend teaches Thalia (and her) that the very things that make us different are the things that make us special. ✨ FEATURES CHARACTERS FROM THE BUYTHISBOOK UNIVERSE ✨Look for Blue Barry the Beagle, the Candy Ants, Whisk the Cat, and Scritch the Rat!
