WHERE IS MY BROOM?
Book summary
Simona the witch has lost her broom, and without it, she cannot fly or escape the ogre chasing her. In her desperate search, she asks a little vampire, Frankenstein, and a monster for help, but none of them know where it is. When the ogre is about to catch her, Simona hides in a cave. This picture book, by the illustrator of the bestseller The Invisible String (more than 150,000 readers), offers an adventure full of tenderness, humor, and mystery about the importance of not giving up.
What is it about?
Simona the witch faces a big problem: she has lost her broom, her indispensable means of transport. Without it, she cannot fly and, worse still, she cannot flee from the ogre that is constantly chasing her. Distressed, she turns to different characters from her fantasy world—a little vampire, Frankenstein, and a monster—to ask if they have seen her broom. None of them can give her an answer. When the ogre is about to catch her, Simona is forced to hide in a cave, where she must face her fear and find a creative solution.
