The eighteenth volume in Dana Simpson’s bestselling comics series flips the script when Phoebe magically transforms into a unicorn—and quickly discovers that life with hooves and a horn is far more complicated (and hilarious) than she ever imagined.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR!
When Phoebe gets the chance to trade places with Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, she leaps at the opportunity. Being a unicorn for a day sounds like the ultimate dream—sparkle, glamour, and magic at your command. But Phoebe soon learns that trotting in Marigold’s hooves comes with challenges she didn’t expect, from figuring out how to properly use a horn to handling the constant admiration (and occasional jealousy) of others.
Meanwhile, Marigold must endure the indignity of being temporarily human: dealing with chores, school, and all the unmagical details of Phoebe’s daily life. With Max lending encouragement, Dakota seizing every chance to stir up trouble, and the clock ticking on their spell, the two friends realize that switching lives might be fun for a little while, but being yourself is the greatest magic of all.
For kids who love unicorns, funny comics, and stories about friendship and seeing things from a new perspective, Unicorn for a Day is a perfect opportunity: Switch places for a while and find out why being a unicorn isn’t quite what you’d expect.

Dana Claire Simpson grew up in Gig Harbor, Washington, drawing the entire time. She eventually graduated from The Evergreen State College, despite having spent all her time drawing, and not always for credit. From 1998 to 2008, she drew the internet comic strip Ozy and Millie. After winning the Amazon sponsored Comic Strip Superstar Contest in 2009, Andrews McMeel Syndication signed her to a development deal for Heavenly Nostrils, which was later renamed Phoebe and Her Unicorn. She currently lives in Santa Barbara, California, with her tech genius spouse and her fairly stupid cat.
