About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a new social environment and feels intimidated by those they perceive as different. It is an ideal choice for the preschooler who is hesitant to join a playgroup or the young student who assumes that a person's outward appearance defines their personality. Through the eyes of a brave little witch who is fascinated by humans, the story gently challenges the fear of the unknown. The narrative follows a young witch who loves Halloween because it is the only time she gets to see humans up close. While her peers think humans are scary and weird, she sets out to prove that they can actually be wonderful friends. The book explores themes of curiosity, overcoming prejudice, and the courage it takes to initiate a first greeting. It is perfectly pitched for ages 4 to 8, providing a safe, whimsical space to talk about how our assumptions about others are often wrong.
