Everyone in the village thinks they know about witches. They grow frightening plants, brew mysterious potions, keep unlucky black cats, fly on broomsticks, and might even turn children into toads.
Fiona has heard enough.
Feisty, curious, and determined to uncover the truth, Fiona challenges the village's silly rumors with one important question: How do we know?
With Freya, Fergus, and Frona by her side, Fiona turns fear into funny investigations. A bubbling "potion" reveals the science of water vapor, a broomstick mishap introduces the forces of flight, Frona discovers momentum, and pumpkin seeds reveal how plants begin to grow.
Along the way, the villagers learn to ask questions, look for evidence, challenge assumptions, and get to know someone before deciding what to believe.
Fiona the Feisty Witch: When Questions Turn Silly Rumors Upside Down combines Halloween humor and magical adventure with age appropriate STEM and SEL concepts, including science, critical thinking, empathy, courage, fairness, and curiosity. Interactive activities encourage children to investigate claims, make observations, and think like Fiona.
Perfect for ages 4-8, Halloween reading, classrooms, homeschool learning, STEM and SEL lessons, and family story time.
