Synopsis: "How the Unicorn Said Goodbye is a gentle book about a difficult lesson: the loss of someone dear. Although it is a tale about unicorns, it speaks to all of life, including that of human beings. It is about the transmission of wisdom from elders to the young, the sharing of experiences within and across generations, the necessary solitary retreat of grief, the solace of happy memories, the healing power of abiding friendship, and, with the passage of time, the unfolding of joy from sorrow. With beautiful illustrations and a captivating story, this book contains a consoling and hopeful message for both young and old about the preciousness of this life, from birth to death, and beyond." - Dean William Rudoy, Ph.D., author and clinical psychologist
