Reach for this book when your child is navigating the social hurdles of elementary school, particularly dealing with a 'frenemy' or feeling like they can never quite get things right. Mildred Hubble is the ultimate relatable underdog: she is well-meaning and hardworking but prone to clumsy mistakes that her rival, Ethel Hallow, is all too happy to exploit. When Mildred is unfairly transformed into a frog, she must rely on her resilience and the loyalty of her friends to set things right. It is a perfect choice for kids who feel the pressure of high expectations and need to see that even a 'worst witch' can find her way through a bad day. The story normalizes feelings of embarrassment and the frustration of being misunderstood while maintaining a light, humorous tone that keeps the stakes feeling safe.
