Description
A witchy poetry collection for older children.
A hard-working junior witch strides around a magical landscape, learning her craft. Her cloak is stuffed with scraps of paper - letters, notes and lists - some of which have tumbled out and been collected into this book.
Nature blends with magic and sometimes more everyday concerns in these soothing, playful, empowering poems. A to-do list for planning a pumpkin party. A blessing for a tiny tree. An identification spell for a bird curse.
Poems from a Witch's Pocket is an eerily enchanting collection aimed at pre-teens but suitable for all ages. Perfect for all aspiring hovel witches!
A witchy poetry book for older children.
