About This Book
Parents can reach for this book when a child feels discouraged after trying something new or worries about not fitting in. It tells the story of Wittilda, a kind witch whose cupboards are bare, forcing her to find a job. After hilariously failing at several occupations that don't suit her witchy talents, she discovers her broom-flying skills are perfect for a pizza delivery gig. This humorous tale gently explores resilience, self-confidence, and the creative ways we can find our own special place in the world. Its lighthearted approach makes it a perfect, low-stakes read for children ages 4 to 8, celebrating the idea that our unique quirks can be our greatest strengths.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The story's inciting incident is poverty and food insecurity, but it is handled in a very light, fantastical, and humorous manner (e.g., being out of "pickled eels"). The approach is secular and metaphorical, focusing on resourcefulness. The resolution is entirely hopeful and empowering.
