 The life story—and poignant legacy—of diplomacy’s greatest forgotten figure, told as only a kindred spirit could.

The unicorn’s myth is rich and layered, bound by one truth: it reveals itself only to the pure of heart. Dag Hammarskjöld deserves his place among them, not for his diplomacy alone, but for the depth of his spirit.

In April 1953, Dag went from Swedish civil servant to international leader overnight, becoming Secretary-General of the United Nations during the height of the Cold War. Thrust into the spotlight, he embraced his role with quiet moral courage. A photographer, a lover of botany, an eager enthusiast of art and poetry, and a student of spirituality, Dag embodied the best of humanity. He symbolized a different kind of leadership—one driven by empathy, sensitivity, and a call to serve others, even when it was uncomfortable.

Decoding the Unicorn: A New Look at Dag Hammarskjöld celebrates his life and legacy. In a world where the media thrives on sensationalism and political campaigns resemble reality TV, Sara Causey’s thoughtful portrayal offers a refreshing look at a person who proved that integrity and compassion never go out of style.

Dag’s Magical Castle - a story of friendship, imagination, and quiet strength!

Dag is a little boy who lives in a big, old castle on the outskirts of town. While he finds wonder in its winding halls and towering bookshelves, the other children don’t understand the castle—or Dag himself. To them, the castle seems strange, just like the quiet boy who lives inside it.

But Dag sees something they don’t. His home is filled with magic—not the kind from fairy tales, but the magic of imagination, curiosity, and seeing the world in a different way. And when the other children step inside and see the castle through Dag’s eyes, they realize it isn’t boring or lonely at all. It’s a place of adventure, discovery, and endless fun.

Through Dag’s journey, his new friends learn an important lesson: you don’t have to be loud or boisterous to have the best adventures. Sometimes, the most magical things come from quiet moments, deep thoughts, and seeing the world with wonder.
