Unicorn Boy and The Slumber Party of Doom by @yaytime and Published by @hachettechildrens

The is the second book in the series and it didn’t disappoint.

Being different is a superpower.

Brian always felt a bit different, even before growing a unicorn horn.

However, when he receives a mysterious invitation for a Unicorn - only sleepover
He wonders if these fellow magical creatures might help him and he will finally fit in.

Can Unicorn Boy embrace his inner hero and survive the night.

My eldest absolutely loved it - just as much as the first book - possibly even more.He thought it’sfunny and heartwarming - definitely recommend.

UnicornBoy and the Slumber Party of Doon is available now

Today is the official release day for Unicorn Boy and the Slumber Party of Doom! Two years in the making and possibly the most love and effort I’ve ever put into drawing a single project. Huge thanks to Heather Mann for elevating every page with her color magic. Huge appreciation to Kaitlyn Quach, Ben Satt, and Katherine Guo for their invaluable production assistance. High fives to Linda Pratt at Wernick and Pratt for believing in me. Gratitude to Samia Garcia-Fakih and the team at First Second books for putting this odd little book out into the world. And to my family, friends, and the rest of y’all for putting up with me. :)

Can't wait to share more on the process of taking @johnleguizamo and @yaytime's script and fleshing it out from sketch to ink, with @wastedwings bringing it all together with breathtaking color!
