Genre: Children’s Picture Book

BOOK BLURB:

The Whispering Witch starts with a fading world. The trees are turning grey and the islands are sinking beneath the rising seas. Men of earth continued with their bickering and wars and all hope withered. A young girl came from the soil with one purpose, to heal the sick world. She regrew the glaciers and sprinkled down seeds into the rainforests and even brought the dinosaurs back, hatching from new eggs. The infant reptiles stretch out and play in the modern new world and the children adore them. However, the men cry out in object and gather their swords to bring her down. The leaders of earth witnessed these changes and only wanted to maintain order and control. But the leaders of mankind feared her touch. Distrustful of the power they could not control, they cast her away, determined to maintain their rule. Yet the witch did not come for them. Her message was for their children—the next generation, still untouched by the greed and ruin that plagued the old.

So, the powerful leaders of earth hunted her down and cursed her name. She did not fight them and returned back below, beneath the soil. However, she whispered to all the children of the world and asked them all to put away their father’s swords and look to the gardens, watering the world with hope.

The Whispering Witch is available at Amazon.

Review:

What a beautifully written children's book! The Earth is dying and The Whispering Witch comes out of the despair and puts her magical touch on it. This book is so relevant today. If we don't stop killing Mother Earth, we are all going to perish and there will be no magical whispering witch to save us. But it's not all about Mother Earth. It's about us which this story beautifully displays. It starts with mankind. I was really impressed with how this resonated with my heart. This book should be on every child's bookcase. It should be read to the children who aren't old enough to read. I can't express it more. Beautifully written! I do want to give a thumbs up to the illustrator who did an excellent job as well. Great book highly recommended. If you don't buy but one children's book this year, this should be the one. I give it 5 stars!
