Stories of Witches

A parent might reach for this book when their child shows a budding fascination with magic and witches, but is still too young for more intense fantasy like Harry Potter or Roald Dahl's The Witches. This collection offers a gentle, engaging introduction to the world of witches through several short, illustrated stories. It explores the classic witch archetype in its many forms, from the mischievous and tricky to the surprisingly helpful, moving beyond simple scary stereotypes. This book is perfect for building reading stamina in early elementary kids and opening up conversations about good vs. evil, cleverness, and how appearances can be deceiving.
