On an island between dream and reality, a young faun named Gabriel is fascinated by the extraordinary new creatures called unicorns. A magical thing born of nature, he muses, "What mystery surrounds their birth? What place, what function do these mythical animals occupy in this imaginary world?"

Poetic and musical, The Day of the Unicorn approaches the fantastic from a peaceful, intimate angle. Each page is like a graphical haiku reflecting a feeling or idea rather than an event. The carefully crafted text supports this narrative idea and aims to awaken certain emotions buried in us.

Spun from the pages of his unfinished graphic novel series by noted artist and author Manuel Arenas, this poetic fairy tale appeals to the innocence in all of us, exploring the mystery of unicorns from a child's perspective.

The Day of the Unicorn is a visual feast, with Arenas's stunning artwork bringing the magical world to life. The unicorns are portrayed as graceful and majestic, with a touch of whimsy that adds to their charm. The island setting is lush and vibrant, with a sense of wonder and adventure that captures the imagination.

The story itself is a touching and emotional journey, following Gabriel as he explores the island and learns more about the unicorns. He meets a variety of characters, each with their own unique perspective on the creatures. Through his adventures, Gabriel learns about the importance of friendship, courage, and imagination, and how these qualities can help us navigate the challenges of life.

The Day of the Unicorn is a beautiful and inspiring book that will captivate readers of all ages. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and the magic that can be found in even the most ordinary of places. Whether you are a fan of fantasy, art, or just looking for a touching and uplifting story, this book is sure to leave a lasting impression.
