What if your mom IS a witch?
This book caught my eye because as a mother of Wiccan faith, I wanted a book to help my toddler understand what witchcraft is and is NOT, and to give him the right perspective and sense of humor about it. I am also a working mom. I think any book that helps kids deal compassionately with the confused feelings or questions they have about their working mom is great. I think other witches/pagan parents will appreciate this fun book.

Working Moms Beware
After a hard day at work, fixing dinner for my family, getting everyone bathed, and doing homework I found it par for the course to sit down to a book about a working mom who is a witch. She is not even very successful as a working mom witch!!! When will society start being kind to the working mother? I found this a distressing comentary on how society sees women in the workplace. I do not think it is appropriate for children.

Appalling commentary on working mothers
This book is soooo bad I burst out laughing. I am married to a working mom, and even I could tell that it is insulting to working moms everywhere! Working moms have enough guilt without this book to pile salt in the wound. Portraying the working mom as a witch sets the book off to a bad start. And to imply that she is rarely around, always late for kids' events, and ferocious after a bad day (as if stay-at-home moms don't get mad!) is no help. Would the author have written this about a working dad? I doubt it. This book sets us back decades in our fight for social justice.
