Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with Afro Unicorn: Meet Dreama!

As our celebration for  Hispanic Heritage Month comes to an end, Afro Unicorn is excited to introduce a new character that embodies the beauty of diversity—Dreama!

She stars in our upcoming graphic novel, Afronia Academy Vol. 2, and brings a bilingual, multicultural perspective to the magical world of Afro Unicorn. This book, available for pre-order now, is perfect for young readers who are ready to embark on a fun, educational, and empowering adventure.

Hispanic Heritage Month: A Time to Celebrate Culture and Diversity

Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. Afro Unicorn is proud to honor this rich heritage by introducing Dreama, a character who celebrates her Hispanic roots through her love for art, her bilingual abilities, and her bright, joyful spirit.

With 42 million people in the United States speaking Spanish at home, Dreama represents so many children and families who share a bilingual experience. She not only adds magic to the world of Afronia Academy, but also brings the beauty of Hispanic culture to the forefront, helping readers explore the power of language and self-expression.

Meet Dreama: The Newest Afro Unicorn

In Afronia Academy Vol. 2, our beloved unicorns, Unique and Divine, embark on an exciting journey at a prestigious magical school—Afronia Academy. Known for its challenging curriculum, Afronia Academy only accepts students who are kind, smart, fair, and believe in themselves. It’s here that Unique and Divine meet Dreama, a creative student with an artistic flair.

Dreama is always a bit distracted, but there’s more to her than meets the eye. As Unique and Divine get to know her, they discover Dreama’s passion for art and her unique way of seeing the world. Dreama’s story highlights the importance of believing in yourself, even when you feel out of place or different.

Bilingual Magic: Learn with Dreama

Dreama isn’t just another student at Afronia Academy—she’s also bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish. Throughout the graphic novel, Dreama uses common Spanish phrases, giving readers the chance to learn and engage with a new language. To make it even more fun, there’s a pronunciation guide and a Spanish language glossary at the back of the book, so young readers can follow along and pick up new words as they read.

Here are a few of the phrases Dreama teaches:

• Lo siento – "Low see-en-TOH" – I'm sorry
• Jajaja – "Ha ha ha" – (Spanish laughter!)
• Sí – "See" – Yes
• No es – "No ehs" – This is not
• Buen – "Bwen" – Good
• Arte – "Ar-TAY" – Art
• Gracias – "Grah-SEE-ahs" – Thank you
• Tostones – "Tohs-TOHN-ehs" – Fried green plantains
• Coronas – "KORH-oh-NAHs" – Crowns
• Hola – "Oh-la" – Hello

By incorporating both languages, Dreama helps readers celebrate the beauty of bilingualism and the richness of Hispanic culture. It’s a fun and educational way to bring Spanish language learning into a magical story that’s accessible to everyone.
