Heidi Heckelbeck is the bestest babysitter!

When a child is eager to prove they are 'big enough' for a new responsibility, this book offers a funny and relatable story. Heidi Heckelbeck, a witch in training, is determined to earn money for a new broom by babysitting her younger brother. She imagines it will be simple, but the reality is chaotic. This story gently explores themes of self-confidence, resilience, and empathy. For early chapter book readers (ages 6-8), it's a lighthearted tale that validates a child's desire for independence while showing that big jobs can be tricky. It normalizes making mistakes and learning that it's okay to ask for help when you're overwhelmed.
