A note for parents
Witch Baby is a whimsical, dreamy coming-of-age story about identity and belonging, written in Francesca Lia Block's signature lyrical style. The book celebrates individuality and self-acceptance while exploring themes of alienation that may resonate with tweens and early teens. The narrative contains some melancholy about feeling different and not fitting in, but nothing graphic; it's more contemplative than disturbing. The book touches on LGBTQ+ themes lightly and includes some characters from the broader Weetzie Bat universe.
