Dana Ginnett’s Wanda the Witch and the Broom That Went Zoom! is a fun children’s story that combines magical fun with an uplifting message about appreciating your talents and accepting your flaws. Set in the whimsical community of Willow Rock, the story follows Wanda Wayble, a talented witch fashion designer whose secret struggle leaves her worried about what others might think. Through her friend Felicia, Wanda learns an important lesson: everyone has unique gifts, and our worth is not defined by the things we cannot do.
One of the book’s greatest strengths is the collaboration between author Dana Ginnett and illustrator Cheryl Senese. Senese’s folksy, hand-crafted art style immediately stands out from many contemporary children’s books.
Ginnett’s rhyming text flows smoothly and is well-suited for read-aloud sessions, while the colorful cast of witches, magical mishaps, and playful details keep the pages engaging.
Recommended for kids who love magic and Halloween!
