About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they are always in the way or that their efforts to help usually end in a 'muddle.' It is perfect for the little one who worries they aren't as polished or capable as the adults around them. The story follows Dorrie, a young witch with socks that never stay up, as she accidentally unleashes a mischievous goblin while her mother, Big Witch, is busy preparing for a grand magic show. Through humor and a bit of magical chaos, children see that being small and imperfect doesn't mean you can't be a hero. It is a wonderful choice for kids aged 6 to 9 who are developing their sense of autonomy. It validates the feeling of being overlooked while celebrating the unique intuition and resilience that children bring to a crisis. Ultimately, it is a comforting reminder that even a 'messy' child has the power to save the day.
