How can we deal with a matter as delicate as the loss of someone dear to us with children? How can we help them face their fears? 
All children learn, some sooner, some later, that unfortunately people or animals do not live forever. This can happen either through direct experience, such as with a loved one, perhaps sick or elderly, or a pet you are particularly fond of, or indirectly through a friend's story or by watching a film. 
With this story every parent can, through the tool of narration, introduce or explore the topic of mourning. 
The protagonist Kaya will receive the "Dream Book" as a gift from her grandmother, a very powerful tool capable of transforming all the images that are drawn on its blank pages into dreams. 
Given her young age, however, she will only be allowed to use the book once a year. Kaya, thanks to her incredible sensitivity, will decide when to do it, and she will do it for a very, very special reason...... 
With simple language suitable for young readers, this audiobook will help you tackle such a delicate topic through the only possible way, reading a fantastic and engaging story featuring our sweet blue-skinned extraterrestrial girl - Kaya.

The Witch of Woodland

Laurel Snyder

A young girl preparing for her bat mitzvah discovers she has mysterious abilities in this magical contemporary coming-of-age story from the beloved author of Orphan Island. 
Hi, whoever is reading this. I’m Zipporah Chava McConnell, but everyone calls me Zippy. 
Things used to be simple—until a few weeks ago. Now my best friend, Bea, is acting funny; everyone at school thinks I’m weird; and my mom is making me start preparing for my bat mitzvah, even though we barely ever go to synagogue. In fact, the only thing that still seems to make sense is magic. 
See, the thing is, I’m a witch. I’ve been casting spells since I was little. And even if no one else wants to believe in magic anymore, it’s always made sense to me, always felt true. But I was still shocked the day I found a strange red book at the library and somehow...I conjured something. A girl, actually. A beautiful girl with no memory, and wings like an angel. You probably don’t believe me, but I swear it’s the truth. 
Miriam is like no one else I’ve ever met. She’s proof that magic is real. And, it’s hard to explain this part, but I just know that we’re connected. That means it’s up to me to help Miriam figure out what she is and where she came from. If I can do that, maybe everything else in my life will start to make sense too. 
Anyway, it’s worth a try.
