Dorrie and the Goblin

A parent might reach for this book when their child is feeling small or a bit clumsy, and needs to see that their unique qualities are actually strengths. Dorrie is a little witch whose hat is always crooked and socks never match, but her quick thinking is her greatest asset. When a mischievous goblin sneaks into her house and turns the visiting Short High Sorcerer into a tea cozy, it's up to Dorrie to fix everything before her mother's magic show. This charming story is a wonderful blend of humor, gentle fantasy, and quiet courage. It shows young readers that you don't have to be perfect or powerful to be a hero; sometimes, being clever and brave is all you need. It's an excellent choice for building self-confidence and a love for creative problem-solving.
