This charming chapter book introduces Crimson Twill, a "little witch" who defies traditional witch stereotypes with her love for polka dots and puppies. When she takes her first trip with her mother to the magical New Wart City and its grand department store, Broomingdale's, Crimson experiences a world of wonder. The story gently explores themes of individuality, self-acceptance, and finding your place, even when you're different. It's a delightful read-aloud for younger children and an accessible independent read for early elementary students, offering a heartwarming message about embracing what makes you unique.
Crimson Twill is a little witch, but you might not know it. She lives in the country and loves polka dots and puppies instead of pointy shoes and black dresses. She even wears a big bow on her hat--which is crimson, just like her name. Tonight, for the very first time, Crimson is riding on her mother's broom all the way to New Wart City to go shopping at Broomingdale's! The huge department store has everything a witch could itch for. For Crimson, each floor (hats! cats! brooms!) is a new adventure. But is Broomingdale's ready for a witch as unique as Crimson?
