All she wants is a pet to laugh, play, and cuddle with. When a young girl asks a powerful wizard for her dream animal, a pastel-pink unicorn with wings, a golden horn, and a sweet smile, she expects something perfect. What she gets instead is Krokohoorn: an enthusiastic and unpredictable mix between a crocodile and a unicorn. At first, she is disappointed and tries to change him into a “proper” pet, with funny and chaotic results. But after a falling-out, she begins to see Krokohoorn for who he truly is: a creative, loving friend who brings magic, cotton candy, and joy into her life.

‘My Unique Friend’ is a warm, humorous picture book about expectations, disappointment, and the beauty of unexpected friendships. With colorful, expressive illustrations and a gentle emotional arc, this story celebrates imagination, acceptance, and the idea that what we need is sometimes very different from what we first wished for. For children ages 5 and up.
