The Pearl the Magical Unicorn series is designed to be an entertaining set of stories about the unlikely friendship between a unicorn, an ogre and a firebird. How does this work? Well, each character brings something to the table that the others lack, and they share a broad tolerance for their differences. However, they don't blindly accept everything; each friend is accountable .
Pearl can do magic. She's strong enough and fast enough to carry Olive on her back. She's friendly, sweet-natured and generous. However, she is given to the occasional bout of sulkiness if things aren't going her way. She tends to get obsessive at times.
Olive is the only one of the friends with hands. She can tie knots and put things together. She is a large, loud personality with a heart as big as her appetite. She has a store of knowledge drawn from her ogre tribe.
Tweet can fly. She is small and resourceful. She often makes a lot of attitude to avoid being overlooked. She has a silly sense of humour and doesn't say much.
These books are written for fun and for entertainment, They include wordplay and innovation. As a side effect, they encourage the following in young readers:
Active play. Pearl and her friends all enjoy active games.
Acceptance of difference. Three very different friends.
Ability to identify unacceptable behaviour. If any of the friends gets out of line, the others will call her on it. They band together against bad behaviour from the villains, but they show understanding the difference doesn't mean badness.
Tolerance and interest. The friends show interest in one another's concerns.
Innovation. All three look for active solutions,
Word play.
