A unicorn searches for others just like him in this vibrant and
shapeshifting tale by Batchelder-Honor author and illustrator, Roger
Mello The last of his kind, Griso travels the world searching for
unicorn companions. He asks beetles, chameleons, and buffalos if
they’ve seen any mythical creatures like him, and all send him on
his way saying, “Neither here nor at the edge of the world.” Griso
gallops across plains, marshes, and mountains, he trots into the
sunset and chats with fearsome narwals by the sea. On each spread, we
see Griso rendered in a new artistic style, portrayed as a shadowy
cave painting, a chivalrous medieval stead, or lost along a
mind-bending surrealist horizon. Griso, the Unique introduces young
readers to artistic movements spanning the 7th to 18th century,
leaping across time and color with the flip of a page. In Daniel
Hahn’s exquisite translation, Griso, the Unique opens the doors to a
world of African painting, Tang Dynasty murals, medieval tapestries,
and art hidden beneath Egyptian pyramids. A song of color, time,
expression, and a fantastical search for belonging by Brazilian
visionary, Roger Mello.
