Jazzy the Witch in Broom Doom

Jazzy the Witch in Broom Doom by Jessixa Bagley is a charming graphic novel that promotes self-love and staying true to oneself. Jazzy is a witch who struggles with one of the most basic witch expectations: flying a broom. To make matters worse, her parents run the broom store in town and can't wait to see her in the school broom parade. When Jazzy sees a cycling race on TV, she feels like she has found her passion and goes on to build and learn to ride a bike.
What I Liked: I really enjoyed the message about staying true to who you are and having the confidence to share that with the world. At the end of the book, Jazzy has a difficult conversation with her family, letting them know about her struggle with riding a broom. The way her family was so supportive of her and helped her customize a broom to her needs was touching. I enjoyed all the characters in the book, but Jazzy's friend Aggie and her bat Fiona added some comedic relief. The illustrations set the tone for the book, and I love the use of "witchy" colors like purple, gray, black, and green throughout.

Jazzy the Witch in Broom Doom is a heartwarming graphic novel about the power of family support and the courage to follow your own path.
