 Sunbeam's Shine
Welcome to an enchanted land ruled by unicorn princesses! Cressida Jenkins, a unicorn-obsessed girl who is sure that unicorns are real, is invited to visit, and readers will be thrilled to journey to the Rainbow Realm along with her! In each story, Cressida is called to help a unicorn princess and her sisters in a magical adventure.
In the first story, a blundering wizard-lizard casts a spell that accidentally robs Princess Sunbeam of her magic yellow sapphire. Without it, she loses her powers--the ability to create light and heat. The only way to reverse the spell is for a human girl who believes in unicorns to find the yellow sapphire and reunite Sunbeam with her gemstone. Sunbeam ventures into the human world and enlists Cressida's help, who is thrilled to visit the Rainbow Realm. But finding Sunbeam's sapphire isn't quite as easy as she thought it would be . . .
A couple years ago I tried to read every unicorn book I could get my hands on, but since then a surprising number of new books have been written, this series being one of them. When the first book made its way into my hands it was fun to return to the worlds of this magical equine.
The storytelling was simple, intended for young readers of course, the kind that believe in unicorns in particular, and a reminder to those that don't that they are missing out. There aren't any villains here, just a few mistakes and a little bit of fear admitting to them. But everything gets sorted out in the end by the little human girl. The other books aren't available at my library so not sure when I'll get to them, but I'll keep an eye out, they are happy feel-good tales with pretty illustrations after all.
