Happy Friday Favorites, everyone. Today our StoryBeam is shining a light on kindness, magic, and sweet surprises as we read Once Upon a Unicorn's Horn by Beatrice Blue.

With a little creativity and a yummy ice cream cone, she helps create the very first unicorn horn.
Let's jump into this magical adventure.

What a delightful story!
It reminds us how a simple act of friendship can turn someone's whole world around and create real magic.
Co-host, if you found a magical little creature in the forest, what special treat would you share with them?
I think cinnamon rolls, but did you know hot cross buns are like cinnamon rolls, but they’re just shaped like [unclear]?
Oh wow, I didn't know that.
That would definitely bring a smile to any magical friend's face.
Very sweet of you.
