They all say no, and the ogre gets closer and closer. Cornered, Simona hides in a cave just as the ogre is about to reach her.

Editorial review
"Where's My Broomstick?" is a picture book that combines humor, tension, and tenderness in a simple but effective story. The premise—a witch who has lost her broom and must flee from an ogre—hooks you from the very first page, and the narrative pace keeps you interested until the conclusion. The illustrations, by the creator of the hit "The Invisible String," are the strong point of the book: full of color, detail, and expressiveness, they perfectly complement the text and attract the eyes of the little ones. Although the story is linear and predictable, it works well for its target audience, offering light entertainment and an opportunity to talk about friendship and help. It is a wise choice for families looking for a fun and visually appealing story, especially if they are already familiar with the illustrator's style.
