Jesus taught us to be kind, respectful, and to love others just as they are. This unique debut children's book brings God's message to life through a colorful story of friendship and faith.

Meet Iris, a Witty Old Witch who wears an old wig and rides on a broomstick! She has a pet pig named Rick and loves to fly-she even wants to fly faster than planes!

Like many witches, she has a mole. But Iris doesn't like her mole and wants to get rid of it, so she tries to create a spell that will remove the pesky mole. After she gets rid of her mole, one thing after another happens that teaches Iris the true meaning of friendship, being confident in your uniqueness, and showing love to others.

Directly inspired by John 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another," Iris The Witty Old Witch is a tale of showing others respect, love, and gratitude for who they are.

Christian parents, Sunday School teachers, and faith-based daycares will want this colorful new book on their bookshelves. Author Hugo Almanza uses his lifelong faith and inspiration from his children to write a story that's engaging, funny, colorful, and relevant to toddlers and young children today.
