Award-winning children’s author and illustrator Vasso Psaraki has produced a rich trove of witchery in The Wise Book of Soumoutou. Her delightfully quirky illustrations and handwritten text reveal secrets and spells, potions and philtres, all concocted from fascinating ingredients – from prawn whiskers and frog croaks to bat feathers and hedgehog quills. Recipes that are safe to make are thoughtfully labelled with a pomegranate symbol.
Soumoutou the witch has enlisted a group of fellow-magic makers to explain the sort of things that children like to know, such as how to transport a dragon by using a few crocodile tears, a sprinkling of salt and a bottle of total darkness; how to change the colours of flowers; transform animals; travel by cloud or become invisible in order to escape pirates.
A beautifully crafted picture book with a tremendous sense of fun, The Wise Book of Soumoutou is full of activities to spark the creativity of young readers.
