Afro Unicorn: Afronia Academy, Vol. 2
By April Showers, Terrance Crawford, Anthony Conley, Ronaldo Barata
The Afro Unicorns know they need to BELIEVE in themselves in order to SUCCEED! But when Unique and Divine enroll at a new school called Afronia Academy and meet an artsy student named Dreama, their confidence will be put to the test—that is, if their teachers don't do it first. This beautifully illustrated graphic novel celebrates Black joy, beauty, and of course, unicorns!
Divine and Unique are attending a new magical school called Afronia Academy. It’s a very hard school to get into, and Superior Magical reminds them that they were chosen to attend because they are kind, fair, smart, and believe in themselves. There, the Afro Unicorns meet a student named Dreama. Dreama seems like she's always distracted, but why? Unique and Divine have got to find out!
This full-color graphic novel is great for young readers beginning their graphic novel journey and graphic novel enthusiasts alike. It also features a Dyslexia-friendly font. Dreama uses a few words in Spanish, with pronunciation guides to help kids navigate new text. Dreama is bilingual, and readers will enjoy learning phrases with her.
When Afro Unicorn creator April Showers realized that her favorite emoji—the unicorn!—was only available in white, she was inspired to create a more inclusive brand for children of color to celebrate how magical, unique, and divine they truly are.
