Olivia's Unicorn Wish
New Episode: Olivia’s Unicorn Wish
This one is about something children often wonder about without knowing they’re wondering about it — why some people seem to find what they’re looking for and others don’t.
The story answers that quietly. The children who find things aren’t luckier. They know more. And because they know more, they can see paths that are invisible to everyone else.
That’s the secret Elliot and Olivia discover when two-year-old Olivia wishes for a unicorn on her birthday candle. Not for herself — for her big sister. What follows is a gentle journey through a dreamlike meadow, guided by Ian the Owl and his underground library, where the sisters learn that knowledge isn’t a chore you do to please adults. It’s a superpower that lights up the world in front of you.
There’s a moment in this episode where Elliot faces real frustration — the kind children know well — and learns to look closer instead of rushing ahead. That shift, from impatience to attention, is one of the most useful things a person can learn. It shows up everywhere: in reading, in friendship, in figuring out how things work.
The story also carries something about generosity that lands without being heavy-handed. Olivia’s wish is entirely for someone else. That detail matters.
Watercolor illustrations, classical music, narrated. Good for winding down before bed.
