Witchy Willow and the Missing Moon is a cozy, not-too-spooky Halloween picture book where a friendly young witch and her curious cat, Paws, discover the moon has vanished on the very night it's needed most. Following sparkling stardust through a foggy forest, they solve a ghost's riddle, outwit a playful goblin, and use a gentle rhyme to lift the glowing moon back into the sky-just in time for trick-or-treating. With mystic-fantasy illustrations, lyrical lines, and a warm mystery, this read-aloud celebrates courage, kindness, teamwork, and clever problem-solving for ages 3-5.
