A charming original fairy tale about a determined house (with legs!) and its search for a gentle witch who will love it.
Deep in the forest sat a little house. The old witch who'd lived there had gone for good. The little house felt empty and alone.
The little house decided it needed a new witch. So, creaking and squeaking, it stood up! And went in search of a witch in need of a house.
'Super cute and whimsical.'—Lane Public Libraries, OH
