About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with a mean-spirited streak or is using unkindness to get attention. It is a perfect choice for navigating those moments when a child seems to enjoy being 'the difficult one' and needs a gentle, humorous nudge toward the benefits of a positive attitude. The story follows Greta, a witch who loves being nasty, as she attempts to cast a spell to turn the kind witch Alice into a mirror image of herself. To Greta's surprise, the magic backfires, leaving her to grapple with the unexpected consequences of her own malice. Through this lighthearted fantasy, children ages 5 to 8 explore themes of empathy, accountability, and the way our behavior shapes our environment. It is an excellent tool for opening a dialogue about why we sometimes choose to be mean and how much better life feels when we lead with kindness.
