MY REVIEW -
This was not really a "Witch book" (except for the title) but it was a cute story. Very short but very sweet. It really reminded me of me and my daughter. In fact when reading it I kept picturing a place where we lived and the herb gardens I had there. The Author talks about collecting Calendula blossoms. My daughter and I used to do that! I taught her all about flowers, herbs and alternative/herbal healing. By the time she was only 2 years old she was collecting on her own. I would send her out with a basket and tell her what I needed. So this story brought back memories for me. I hope to be doing this kind of thing with my granddaughter!
Even though this story was very short I felt it was complete. I liked the ending, it had a natural feeling to it. Its just the way things happen.
And the cover is cute!

This does sound like a very sweet story, and as I have lately become a bird lover, I am really attracted to this one. As I type this, I am watching a blackbird gather seeds, and a woodpecker flitting about looking for ants in my backyard. So yes, this does really appeal to me :) Very nice review today!
ReplyDeleteConfession: I'm not a fan of birds. Don't hate me :P But it sounds like a really sweet and warm story. (Now if only it was about a puppy...) ;-)
