A magical story of a little witch who must face her fears of failure in order to succeed at camp. An inclusive picture book featuring two mommies and a child with a hearing device for fans of Kiki’s Delivery Service.

Sid loves being a witch. She can make a Rainbow Mushroom potion. She can turn butterflies into frogs. And she can use her crystal ball to predict the weather! But she’s nervous about starting Witch Camp. Why? Because Sid has a secret—she can’t fly on a broomstick!

Sid confesses to her moms that she’s nervous about the Broomstick Race and that she’s going to quit Witch Camp for good. But then something happens at home, reminding Sid that being a witch isn’t just about flying well—and that maybe trying your best and not giving up is part of Witch Camp too. This empowering book about self-esteem provides kids with a spunky role model for facing one’s fears and trying to succeed.

“A good story to help children realize that giving up may not be the best idea... its usefulness will extend to esteem issues.”
School Library Journal
“An exuberant exhortation to choose passion and progress over perfection.”
