The Switch Witch: Keeper of Sweet Dreams (A Halloween Tradition) is an exciting story, bursting with color and magic that’ll get your kids in the holiday spirit!
Every witch has their own special kind of magic; the Switch Witch uses her magic to protect children’s dreams. Every night, the witch’s magic globe shows which children’s dreams need her help, and she turns the scary situation into a comical scene that brings plenty of laughs.
One sneak peek: many kids are scared of spiders, and that fear shows up in their dreams. For one little boy, the fear-inducing creepy crawler is holding 4 cupcakes while wearing 4 roller skates, a tutu, and a crown. Oh, and it is wearing makeup. Get the book to reveal this adorable illustration!
The Switch Witch’s magic isn’t endless; she needs to refuel, but how? With a spell called The Sweet Brew that needs lots of candy that has to be given to her freely by the kids. Do your kids gobble up all their Halloween candy, causing stomach aches, or refuse to share it with others? Do you throw away mounds of candy every year? The Switch Witch: Keeper of Sweet Dreams gives families a kind-hearted, sweet idea for what to do with excess sugary treats. Though witches are not real, giving or donating the candy is a wonderful idea, and so is leaving a wish behind. Parents can fulfill these wishes, much like they do with other holiday characters (e.g., Easter Bunny and Santa Claus).
The artwork has several inconsistencies, but very young kids will overlook them or not care. Readers will love and giggle at what happens when the candy is added to the cauldron; namely, what happens to the black cat during the addition of the bubble gum and taffy. To clarify, the artwork mistakes do not affect the story’s flow or plot. It’s a delightful story, and reading it would make a great Halloween tradition, and so would the wish idea!
My recommended reading age is 3-9 years.

It’s Christmas Eve in Brooklyn, New York, and Santa Claus is in trouble. Racing to complete his worldwide journey before Christmas morning, Santa is making his final stop when disaster strikes over Sunset Park. His sleigh begins to shake violently, forcing him to bring his reindeer down onto the roof of a brownstone below, right above eight-year-old Carmen, who has been watching the whole thing from her window.
When Carmen races up to the roof she finds Santa, his reindeer, and a sleigh that isn’t going anywhere. The presents still need delivering. Christmas is slipping away. And Carmen, a resourceful Brooklyn girl who knows her neighborhood, has an idea that just might work.
Could the New York City subway system help save Christmas?
Told in irresistible rhyme with vibrant full-color illustrations by the author, Santa Rides the Subways is a joyful holiday adventure rooted in the urban energy and multicultural heart of Brooklyn. Funny, warm, and genuinely surprising, this is a Christmas story that reflects the real New York – its neighborhoods, its elevated trains, its children – and the one determined little girl who saved the night.
