# Donut: The Unicorn Who Wants to Fly - Hardcover

by **Laura Gehl** (Author), **Andrea Zuill** (Illustrator)

**Here's the hilarious story of Donut, a scruffy unicorn who can't fly-- but who keeps on trying! **From the author of _One Big Pair of Underwear_ and the illustrator of _Sweety_.****

When Donut, a fluffy, scruffy unicorn with a colorful horn spots a bird in the air, she thinks, why can't I be up there, too? And so she _jumps!_ off of a log and and even a trampoline. But _thump!_ she falls down to the ground. After many attempts at flight (including wings fashioned out of sticks), Donut schemes with the other animals in the field, and finally comes up with an ingenious and imaginative solution. Finally, her perseverance pays off-- and Donut _flies!_

With a simple text and expressive art, here is a character-driven story from a popular author-illustrator duo that's laugh-out-loud funny, ingenious, and sure to appeal to all those unicorn fans out there--especially those who like their unicorns a little on the imperfect side.
