Little Witch Hazel

In the hush of the forest just beyond the foothills where we gather in our Tennessee home, there’s a witch who tends not dark powers but gentle magic — nature, kindness, and the rhythm of the seasons. Little Witch Hazel lives among mossy trunks and wildflowers, rescuing an orphaned egg in spring, sailing on a raft in summer’s slow heat, solving the mystery of a haunted stump in autumn, and relying on the forest’s friends when winter storms blow in.

Phoebe Wahl’s lush collage-style illustrations and textured palettes invite readers — young and old — to slow down, observe the small wonders around us, and find the magic that lives in tending, caring, and belonging. In our own Greeneville garden, we know that magic too: the quiet stir of a leaf, the hush after rain, the community we build when we root ourselves in the land. This book makes a perfect heartfelt gift for the child who digs in the dirt, the adult who still waits for fairy doors behind the hydrangeas, or the family reading together at twilight.
