It's raining cupcakes! Yum!

Being a fan of whimsical art and children's writing, I had to connect with kidlit author Diana Murray. It's not only National Unicorn Day, but one of her upcoming books wih illustrator Luke Flowers releasing in June is literally titled Unicorn Day! In her book, unicorns celebrate their day in fun and friendship...until among them an "imposter" is revealed.

Diana: "I found loads of surprises in Luke’s illustrations when I first saw them. He made the “imposter’s” fake horn very subtle - readers might not notice right away. A fun reveal! Also, he included such variety. It thrills me that there’s a “goth” unicorn, and even a yeti and a dragon."

So, what fairytale would one of your unicorns be most befitting in? Red Riding Hood or the tale of Hansel and Gretel?

"Unicorns can make it rain cupcakes, so that would distract Hansel and Gretel from the witch’s house. Problem solved! Of course, you can apply unicorns to nearly any situation for a better result."

Would a unicorn prefer traveling through Candyland or move through a Monopoly board?

"Candyland would definitely feel more like home. I don’t think they’d like Monopoly. They don’t care about money or material things. However, I guess they’d help put a more positive and carefree spin on the monopoly board. I’d like to see that, actually! That would be quite a sparkly version of the game."

I often think of an author's work, book, or poem in terms of a color or shading (mood/tone/personality). When I ask Diana about this...."My fave color is black. But for my writing, black with rainbow glitter- much like the sweater I’m wearing today!"
