Reach for this book when your child feels overlooked by older siblings or peers, or when they have been told they are too little to participate. It is a perfect choice for navigating the sting of exclusion and the frustration of being underestimated by those who think they know more. The story follows Emma, a small witch who is mocked by two older, mean-spirited witches for not being skilled enough to make a potion. Rather than getting discouraged, Emma uses her imagination and the help of some animal friends to create her own brand of magic. It is a humorous and empowering story for children ages 4 to 8 that validates the feeling of being left out while showing that cleverness and kindness are far more powerful than traditional authority or mean-spirited expertise. Parents will appreciate the way it models resilience without being preachy, using James Stevenson's signature comic-style layout to keep the tone light and engaging.
