About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child seems anxious about a new neighbor or judges a classmate for being 'weird'. This story gently explores how imagination and fear can create misconceptions about people we don't know. It follows a young boy who is convinced his eccentric new neighbor is a witch. His spooky assumptions lead to a humorous investigation that ultimately reveals the woman is just a kind, creative person who is different from him. It's a wonderful tool for starting conversations about empathy, curiosity, and the bravery it takes to challenge our own first impressions.
