About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing 'first day jitters' or struggling with a sense of clumsiness that makes them feel inadequate. It is particularly healing for children who are perfectionists and feel deep shame when they make a mistake in front of others. The story follows Glenda Feathers, a well-meaning but muddled new hire at a witch agency, whose magical mishaps accidentally lead her into a bank robbery investigation. While the plot is a fast-paced adventure involving a chase to catch crooks, the heart of the story is about self-acceptance and resilience. It teaches children that 'getting it wrong' is often just a detour on the way to getting it right. Glenda's ability to turn a series of blunders into a heroic save provides a humorous, low-stakes way to discuss how mistakes don't define our value or our potential for success. It is an ideal read for ages 4 to 8, offering both a giggle-inducing mystery and a gentle nudge toward a growth mindset.
