Description

The story of a young unicorn named Kelp who was born under the sea to a family of narwhals. Growing up in the ocean, Kelp has always assumed he was a narwhal like the rest of his family. He notices some differences between himself and his family, such as his shorter tusk and difficulty swimming. One night, a strong current sweeps Kelp to the surface where he encounters a mysterious creature resembling himself. Kelp discovers that both he and the creature are actually unicorns. This revelation leaves him conflicted about his identity as a land narwhal or a sea unicorn. Kelp is determined to find a way to embrace both aspects of his identity and have the best of both worlds.
