Booklist - 02/15/2022 In this companion to Sima's popular Not Quite Narwhal (2017), readers meet Nimbus, a little blue horse with feathered wings, who was born in a cloud. Though she lives alone, she can usually keep herself entertained by soaring through the sky, sliding on rainbows, and searching the stars for horse constellations. One particularly lonely evening, she decides to make a wish on a shooting star: “I wish I had someone . . .” The star falls to earth before Nimbus has completed her wish, so she flies in search of it. On an island, she meets a unicorn named Kelp, who has the ability to make his own rainbows. The friendly creatures who inhabit the island pitch in to assist Nimbus in locating her lost star, but the bright daylight makes it difficult. Discouraged, Nimbus returns to her cloud, where she acknowledges that perhaps she discovered something on the island that is even better than her wishing star. Charming digital illustrations and the heartwarming tale of friendship—not to mention unicorns—will keep very young children entertained. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.

School Library Journal - 04/22/2022 PreS-Gr 3—In a companion title to Sima's Not Quite Narwhal, Nimbus soars among the stars, a Pegasus among the constellations who makes wishes for a friend upon every falling star she sees. One night she follows the path of a star all the way to an island where she meets Kelp, the unicorn, and all his pointy friends. They help her to look for the fallen star, and she has enough fun that when it's time to return to the skies, she knows she will miss them. But her need to find the kind of friend she has in mind is so strong that she goes home anyway. Even the youngest reader will be on track for what happens next; Nimbus realizes who her real friends are. This is a reassuring follow-up to the first book and just as generous and inclusive. Sima's "pointy" creatures are adorable, helping create a warm and welcoming environment for Nimbus, and children will love figuring out just what they are, or are not. VERDICT An easy purchase, sure to find a place next to its popular forerunner, that makes the night skies just a little bit friendlier.—Kimberly Olson Fakih - Copyright 2022 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
