Who was the first unicorn? How did he get his golden horn? And why did others follow in his footsteps?

Aden is a young horse, who believes that giving of his time and gifts is the best way to share hope in the world. One evening, he is visited by an angel who bestows a gift of gold upon his forehead, "You cannot see or spend it. It's for others to behold." Yet, when he returns home that evening, the herd sees the horn as a weapon and chases him away.

Sad but not discouraged, Aden continues to help and care for others. However, when his mother gets injured, he discovers his horn can perform miracles. It was that first miracle that softened the hearts of the others and inspired them to lead a God-filled life as well.

This story is about love, acceptance, kindness and giving. It is the story of the First Unicorn and how God's creation would succeed at greatness.

"Anything is possible if love is what you choose. Miracles can happen if you share the good news."---

The story is available as a hardcover, paperback, and ebook, with additional editions including a black-and-white coloring book, a shorter rhyming bedtime story, and a full-length novel for middle-grade readers and up.
