About Thelma The Unicorn
Thelma is an ordinary pony who longs to be more. But when her dream to be a unicorn comes true she discovers that fame isn't all it's cracked up to be! This delightful tale of glittery dreams and unexpected self-discovery delivers a positive message about self-acceptance and the pitfalls of trying to be someone you're not.
