So there’s definitely a deeper subtext to the story on top of being really, really cute. ![]() And while history is very much written by the victors, there are ways to reconnect to the past and bring back the true history of what actually happened. ![]() And this is not biased by my thinking that all people-turned-super-fluffy-cats are just precious.įrom the adorable illustrations to the very relatable feelings of not fitting in (I’m saying this from a general “I’m weird and kids don’t like me,” without the added feelings of people a person of color in a town that has racist asshat kids like Moth experiences), this is just a fantastic book with lots of magic and witches and history.Īnd history is a big part of the story, from witch-hunting and the vilification of witches and people who were differentor didn’t fit into the white Puritan norm, to those in present day times who had trouble fitting in as well. Okay this was just too stinking adorable. ![]() Witches and magic exist, and they’re not the evil beings that her hometown claims they are. ![]() Moth Hush is just your average ordinary girl who feels really out of place in her small coastal Massachusetts town-and she discovers that part of her feelings are because she’s a witch. ![]()
