Making friends is a theme that will resonate with young readers, and the characters are equally compelling. Nimbus is a sweet character, and children will enjoy seeing her story and search for friends. What I loved: This is such a lovely and charming read. They are unable to find it, and Nimbus returns to the sky - only to realize that her wish had already come true. Soon, she meets Kelp's friends and they help her search as well. In her search, she finds Kelp, a unicorn, who agrees to help her look. She chases the star to an island, where she tries to find it to make her wish for friends. When she sees a shooting star, she tries to make a wish, but it falls so quickly that she did not have time. Most of the time she loves it, but sometimes she feels lonely.

In Sima’s version of a crossover episode, Nimbus, the titular pegasus-who has purply blue wings and an aviator’s cap to match-meets Kelp, the unicorn protagonist of 2017’s Not Quite Narwhal.
