Kassandra Aloe (ArtEd 2008) created this picture book for Professor Lin Haire-Sargeant’s Summer 2020 Continuing Education Children’s Literature class. In the story, Lemi, a unicorn setting out for the Merry Meadows, helps an over-imaginative little lion regain his self-confidence and wonder. A delight!
