The Little House that Needed a Witch

by Sophie Pluim; translated by Polly Lawson

Deep in the forest sat a little witch's house, but the old witch who'd lived there had gone for good. The little house felt empty and alone. As the seasons changed, grass grew tall around it and mushrooms began to sprout from its roof. The little house knew it must find a new witch or it would fall down.

What to do? Creaking, the little house stood up and set out on a journey. Would it find a witch in need of a house?

This charming original fairy tale from Sophie Pluim, illustrator of The Runaway Pancake, celebrates change and being open to new beginnings.
