Publisher Description
From the illustrator of The Girl and The Dinosaur comes a heartwarming, magical picture book about what it means to be a friend.
Little Witchling lives alone on her mountain top, and more than anything else, she wishes for a friend. When her spell book tells her that the secret ingredient to conjuring a friend is the fur from a little girl's favorite teddy bear, she knows what she must do.
But the bear belongs to Lily, who can't bear to part with him. Will the Little Witchling give up her dream of a real friend? Or maybe there's a way for her and Lily to make the wish come true together . . .
With heartwarming rhyming text from Lu Fraser, and beautiful illustrations from Sarah Massini, this magical friendship story is perfect for little witches everywhere!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A lonely young Witchling's plan to conjure a friend goes gently awry in this sweet-natured, jauntily rhyming tale. The Witchling, portrayed with pale skin, doesn't mind the bed beetles or dripping ceiling of her cozily appointed cave home, but she longs for a friend to take up the emptiness in her heart. Though her spell book has just the recipe, when she flies off in search of a special ingredient—"some furriness" from a one-eyed teddy bear—a crash landing offers friendship in another child, portrayed with brown skin. Fraser's bouncy text carries readers through the night sky at a good clip, while Massini's playful mixed-media artwork introduces two winning characters turned kindred spirits. Ages 3–6.
