Un-Happy New Year, Emma!

When your child is trying their best to be kind but is met with meanness, this book validates their frustration. It follows Emma, a young witch, who resolves to be nicer to two mean-spirited older witches, Dolores and Lavinia. Despite her best efforts, they continue to torment her, pushing her patience to its limit. The story explores the difficult emotions of anger and fairness, culminating in a humorous and satisfying magical revenge. For ages 4-7, it's a perfect choice for opening a conversation about why 'being the bigger person' is hard and acknowledging the very real temptation to get even, all within a safe, fantastical context.
