A new book by prolific children's author Mary Brodsky is a timely, healing, and much-needed message for kids of all ages. We are all living in very stressful, turbulent times, and The Magic Door (published by Rebel Books Press) is a beautiful, colorful beacon of optimism during our very dark times.

I'm a firm believer that our very young children can learn from a well-written story, and this book is a welcome addition to our home library. The illustrations are just beautiful, and the message to the kids is clear: there will be conflicts in life, but be open-minded and try to solve problems with kindness and love.

Lorena is the young protector of a special unicorn and all the magical animals in her world. But one day, the unicorn is missing, and she must spring into action to protect all the visitors who love her town, and the welcoming animals waiting for their guests.

The Magic Door is a heartwarming tale of unicorns, magical animals, and a young girl’s determination to protect the magic in her land. Author Mary Brodsky said it’s important to her to always offer children messages of acceptance, optimism, and love.

“One thing that's especially important to me is the diversity in my books,” said Mary Brodsky. “As someone who has traveled extensively and met people from all walks of life, I know how beautiful and varied our world truly is. It’s crucial that children see and celebrate this diversity from a young age, and my books featuring characters from different nationalities and backgrounds aim to do just that. I want little ones to understand that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and personalities.”
