Sneak Peek! Shhhhhhh.

Lookit, everyone! Actually, shhhhhh. No, don't look.

Okay, come here. Let me show you something very, very exciting. It's the draft cover of our upcoming book, Witches Don't Do Winter (available for pre-order now -- launching in December!)

Isn't it beautiful????

Thank you, Sister Kimmie, for all your work in taking the drawings and making them look lovely! xxxx Sandiwitch xxxxx

WOTS 2011 - One for the Books

Hello all!

We've done another Word on the Street, my dearies. We met lots and lots of lovely people, but alas, none of them were green. Or blue. The weather couldn't have been more spectacular. Pansy Witch was hoping for a nice coffee wagon, but the kind WOTS organizers haven't quite gotten there yet. Little Witch Press was sandwiched (not sandiwitched) between the nicest people from Victoria BC (Judy and David from Bee Smart Books) and the fabulous Nathalie Prézeau of Toronto Fun Places (plus her daughter Roxanne!). Her guide to family fun in Toronto will soon be joined by a walking guide for girlfriends in the Big City. I think all the Little Witches should get one so we can stroll Toronto and eat and shop!

Pansy had her biggest, biggest grin for everyone:

Thanks to everyone who dropped by and said hello.

Lots of love, Sandiwitch

Watch Out Toronto!

Yes, it's true my dearies! The witches are once again on the fly.

This time, we'll be in Toronto for the Word On The Street enormous book festival (Sunday, September 25th, 2011). You might have trouble finding us, as we blend into the crowd. You know. The blue face, the chickenwire tutu. I know! Listen for the cackles!

Joining us this year is Roslyn Witch, whom you might recognize by her skunk. Don't worry. The skunk is usually well behaved.

Otherwise, please say 'hi' to us when you pass by our booth in Kids Alley. We don't bite! (but we might nibble, particularly if you have an ice cream or cookie with you).

Love,
Sandi Witch

Our December

We've been having a lovely December, cooking up all the goodies for the upcoming holidays. 

What. 

That's right, kids. Now that Halloween is over (and trick-or-treat is done), we've had lots of time for high-jinks and fun! We flew into Tracy Arnett's Annual Christmas Movie Sunday last weekend, and then we were at First Avenue Daycare for a visit. 

First Avenue Daycare? That's one awesome daycare! I think I would like to be a kid again and live in that daycare. Do you think that would be okay? Do you think the kids would mind if a witch was living at their daycare? No?

That's right. I didn't think so.

All the best,

Sandi Witch!

Witches in the Museum!

If anyone was at the Children's Museum today, you may have spotted Pansy and Sandi performing in the theatre space. The two witches had a GREAT time. They read from all three books -- Where Do Witches Go, What Do Witches Do? and Witches Don't Do Ballet -- and were surprised, delighted and astonished at all the little dancers who joined them onstage. You are all fantissimo! Unique! One-of-a-kind!

Last night, the witches could be spotted at the Glebe Community Centre, performing at the Great Glebe Pumpkin Party, and earlier at Tiggy Winkles in Westboro.

The witches are flying off tonight to enjoy highjinks in the neighbourhood! Look for the little witches at book fairs and recitals over the next few months. In the meantime, happy trick-or-treating!

Happily yours,

The Little Witches of Little Witch Press

3...2...1... We Have Achieved Liftoff!

That's right, my dears, the Little Witches have just successfully launched our newest book, Witches Don't Do Ballet. Today at Old Ottawa South's Firehall, dozens of little readers bustled about colouring, guessing the candy jar contents, and listening to our new story.

Unfortunately my dears, I may have eaten one too many cupcakes. Okay. Maybe three too many cupcakes.

We'd love to hear how you enjoyed it -- and let us know what kind of party you'd like to see next year! Check back soon for pictures.

Lots of love,

Sandi Witch

Ready, Set...LAUNCH!

That's right, my dears...the Big Launch is almost here! This Sunday (October 17) from 2:00 until 4:00, join me (Sandi), Wilhelmina, and Pansy as we flounce about like maniacs, spelling and charming everyone in our path. Cupcakes, my dears...cupcakes! There will be storytelling, etc. etc.  All at the Firehall (Old Ottawa South Community Centre on Sunnyside).

We may even have some special guests -- I hear Roslyn might be in town! Who knew? And as for that skunk of hers. Well, we really must come up with names for all our creatures. I feel a contest comin' on!

It would be lovely if you all could come in costume -- that way we won't recognize you! And tell all your friends!

Yours in pumpkin madness,

Sandi Witch
