Wanda is a shy young witch who, despite wanting to, can’t quite get her words to come out. She makes friends with a new witch in her class named Flo who doesn’t mind that Wanda doesn’t speak much. When Flo’s spell during the school magic contest goes awry, Wanda finds her voice and a way to save the day!

This sweet rhyming story will appeal to children ages 4-7 and may spark conversations about how to find your own voice and help peers find theirs too. The illustrations are delightful, featuring teal, pink, and gray. This is a title that can be featured outside of Halloween displays despite its witch-centric storyline.
