VBT# A Unicorn Named Rin - Crystal Z. Lee
Review: A Unicorn Named Rin - Crystal Z. Lee and Li Lu - April 2021
I was drawn to this picture book because
it had a cute Unicorn in the story as my favorite mythological creature is a
Unicorn. This book is very cute and follows a Chinese legend with a variety of mythological
creatures in the story. I also liked the way that it showcased the Chinese
culture with its festival celebrations. In this story, our Princess Pingyang is
getting ready for the festival, but she is missing her companion Phoenix - Fan.
The Princess calls on Rin to help find Fan. During the story as Rin checks all
the places he thinks that Fan can be, he also meets other mythological
creatures who help search. In the end, they decide the way to draw Fan out is
by singing a beautiful melody. This was a very cute picture book with amazing
illustrations, especially of the creatures. I also liked how Princess Pingyang
was her person and this book shows girls not only diversity with the AAPI but
also that just like Princess Pingyang, they can be strong female role models. A
Unicorn named Rin is perfect for readers aged 6-9 years as it is a
sophisticated picture book.
