Moonsilver / Kathleen /duey ? 78 pages / First Book in a Series

The Unicorn's Secret #1
Simon Pratt had found Heart Avamir when he was "gathering firewood among the cottonwood trees by the river.  She had been wrapped in a beautiful blanket, her hair knotted and tangled."  The other children in Ash Grove knew their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.  "They didn't trust her, wouldn't play with her, or even talk to her."  The village healer, Ruth, befriends Heart.  In fact, she had named her as Simon would only call her Girl.  Heart becomes Ruth's apprentice.  Heart is astonished to learn that a frail, wounded mare she found in the woods and her foal are unicorns.  She vows to protect them with her life.  The cover art for this series is fantastic and sure to attract young readers and the stories contained within the covers will surprise, delight, and broaden horizons.
