Willow loves being the one who brings the magic into her household – until the day she isn’t. Rowan has arrived and he seems to have cast a more powerful spell on her parents and her beloved grandmother. She will try everything possible to not fall under the newcomer’s spell.

New babies do seem to put everyone who sees them under a spell. Townes has run with that concept to make a magical picture book about the phenomena and sibling jealousy. Harney leans into the purple and the sparkles for illustrations that support the magic. Handy for families who are about to have child #2. Willow and her family are white.
