Children’s Book Review : Who is a Witch by Rowan Moss

 

Who is a Witch is beautifully written by Rowan Moss. The illustrations are also beautifully done by T.S. Lamb. This is the first book in the Pagan Children Learning Series.

 

This book covers the topic of who is a witch and what witches do. The book explains everything in easy to understand language. For words that may be harder to understand, the writer included a glossary at the back of the book.

 

Who is a witch explains that almost anyone can be a witch, and that you cannot tell just from looking at someone. It shows that witches come in all shapes, forms, colors, and backgrounds. It shows that witches are not someone to fear because they do the same kind of stuff that the readers do! It goes on to explain that witches practice magic and what magic consists of. The book does a great job of explaining the types of things witches do like keeping a garden, being in nature, and practicing magic with a coven.

 

One of my favorite parts of this book series is the activity in the back of each book. The activity this time consisted of making a bird feeder. This was one of my favorite things to do as a kid and I was excited to see it included. I feel that this activity is perfect for teaching children about witches because the book is showing children that witches are helpful to nature and care about the environment.

 

I shared this book with my son and he gave it a big thumbs up. We spent one afternoon discussing who in our community may be a witch and what they did in their free time. That evening we sat out and watched the sun set and the moon rise. We talked about the book and what witches might be doing at that time of the day. The next day we completed the activity in the back of the book. We discussed how witches take care of the Earth and what else we could do to support witches and nature.

 

This book comes highly recommended from me. If you have small children and are struggling with how to explain who witches are, use this book! It not only explains everything in an easy to understand way but the activity is a lot of fun also!
