If you loved Elizabeth Day’s self-help bible and podcast How to
Fail, especially aimed at helping those girls paralysed by
perfectionism, well, this is its pre-school fictional equivalent,
with added magic spells and pointy hats. […] Leila Wayward is a
brilliant little witch who seems good at everything […] the counter
to Jill Murphy’s clumsy if charismatic Worst Witch and the ever
accident-prone Meg in Helen Nicoll and Jan Pienkowski’s Meg and Mog
classics.
*Times*
a vibrantly illustrated book
*‘Spooky reads For Halloween’, Irish Independent*
A fun and colourful reminder that no one can be the best at
everything, even powerful little witches.
*The Bookseller*
Take one little witch, a supportive family, a froggy friend, a
bowlful of whimsy, lashings of visual humour, spoon in a visitor
from another picture book, mix them all together and the result is
a very sweet, satisfying story with an agreeable message.
*The Red Reading Hub*
Leila, the Perfect Witch is a charming story
*Armadillo Magazine*
