About This Book
A mother leaves her seven children home with strict instructions, but the wicked witch Heckedy Peg tricks her way inside and transforms all the children into different kinds of food. The brave mother must journey to the witch's house and correctly identify which food is which child to break the spell and save them all.
Why We Love This
Don Wood's oil paintings are absolutely stunning and richly atmospheric. It's a deliciously spooky fairy tale with a powerful message about a mother's fierce love.
