Synopsis:
Through a series of adventures, a unicorn with a broken horn discovers the truth about herself and what it means to be enough... or a NUFF!

Our Thoughts:

The Nuff is a heartwarming picture book with an important message from a mother to her daughters about being enough no matter your differences. It's about a unique little unicorn that is quite enough just the way she is, even with her slightly broken horn and hair as green as grass on a warm summer's day. 

This is an incredibly special story, written by a mother who knew her time was short. She wanted her daughters to know that they were enough, no matter what. Veronica Waldrop lost her battle to breast cancer in 2017 but left behind a beautiful message, not only to her daughters but to children all around the world. 

This colorfully illustrated story is full of life and adventure and lessons about being yourself, being your best self, and always knowing your worth. 

I've read this to my daughter several times already and each time it makes me choke up. It's a touching and beautiful message all on its own, but the story behind it is a reminder of how important it is to hold our loved ones close and to build up our children.

The hardcover copy of this book is a beautiful pinkish purple with end pages that feature the Nuff doing different activities. The book also includes a  few lovely dedications as well as an illustrated portrait and full-color photography of the author with her daughters and a message from the father.
