Diamond Ivy

Princess Ivy has a shining pink castle, a treasure room overflowing with jewels, and one big dream — to be the most sparkly girl in the land. But what happens when sparkle isn't everything?

Ivy challenges the whole town to bring her a diamond bigger than any she owns, and when nobody's gems are good enough she leaps onto her magical unicorn, Barnaby Bob, and gallops off to find one herself. Through the Shadowy Forest of Glitter, across the River of Crystal, and into a sloppy brown swamp, the quest gets muddier, messier, and further from glamorous with every page.

When the enormous diamond on the mountaintop turns out to be nothing but a melting block of ice, Ivy finally sees what all that greed and pride have cost her — a shivering unicorn, a ruined dress, and not a single new friend. She tosses her crown aside, hugs Barnaby Bob, and heads home to give every last ruby, pearl, and diamond away. And in that moment, the unicorn sparkles brighter than ever before.

Perfect for toddlers and early readers (ages 2–6), Diamond Ivy is a beautifully illustrated picture book about a princess who discovers that a generous heart shines far brighter than the biggest jewel.
