Illustrated by Carolina Coroa
Is a wonderful story with a great role model for young girls
An addition to our strong girls collection
That is the perfect non spooky Halloween read
And a great story of being true to yourself for all year round
Grizelda is coming of age and it is tradition for her
To choose her grown-up nose
A super WITCHY one!
Her mother takes her to the utterly brilliant Conk Boutique to choose a nose
Grizelda tries them on, long ones, short ones, fat ones, thin ones
Hairy ones and warty ones
Nothing fits
Nothing feels right
In her heart Grizelda knows that the nose for her is already on her face
The nose she has had from birth
She does not need to change and so she says so
A confident little witch with a huge heart and great courage
Grizelda stands up for herself and for all little ones
Being asked to change themselves to fit in
This is a joyous story with wonderful illustrations but it has a serious message
You are wonderful just as you are
Be true to yourself
You do not have to change because others think you should
Be you!
Have the confidence to speak out for what you believe in
Love your own reflection
You are beautiful!
And eat ALL the ice cream!!
