Wendy the Windy Witch

Reach for this book when your child is feeling embarrassed about their body or needs a lighthearted way to discuss things they cannot control. It is particularly helpful for kids who are overly self-conscious about being different or who have a case of the giggles regarding bathroom humor. The story follows Wendy, a witch who is talented but faces a gassy problem every time she flies. It uses humor to tackle the heavy feelings of shame and social anxiety that can come with physical quirks. While the primary draw is the silly flatulence humor, the underlying message is one of self-acceptance and finding confidence despite perceived flaws. It is an excellent choice for normalizing bodily functions while showing that our unique traits, even the embarrassing ones, can actually be a part of what makes us special. Perfect for ages 3 to 7, this book turns a potential source of shame into a moment of shared laughter and connection.
