Wobble, the Witch Cat

Reach for this book when your child is feeling discouraged by a lack of physical coordination or is struggling to keep up with peers in a new skill. While it is set against a whimsical Halloween backdrop, the core of the story is about Wobble, a cat who is terrified of falling off a slippery broomstick. It beautifully captures the anxiety of being 'clumsy' and the frustration of feeling like you do not fit the mold of what you are supposed to be. As Wobble navigates his fear of heights and his struggle to balance, children ages 4 to 8 will find a relatable hero. The story moves from insecurity to a triumphant, creative solution that celebrates individuality. It is a wonderful tool for normalizing physical anxiety and showing that there is more than one way to reach your goals, even if you have to trade a broom for a vacuum cleaner.
