About Itty Bitty Witch
Betty can't wait to be a first-grade witch. But on the first day of school, her classmates start calling her 'Itty Bitty' because she's small and still uses her kinder-broom. Betty doesn't like the nickname--or how it makes her feel itty-bitty inside. So she comes up with a BIG idea to prove herself: winning the Halloween dash.
About the Author
When Trisha Speed Shaskan was a child, Halloween meant bobbing for apples, daring to touch brains (which may have been noodles), and-best of all-wearing costumes. She still loves dressing up for Halloween. Trisha is the author of more than forty children's books, including Punk Skunks and the Q & Ray series, both illustrated by her husband, Stephen Shaskan. Trisha lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with Stephen; and their dogs, Beatrix and Murray.

About the Illustrator
Xindi Yan grew up in a small city called Wuhu in China, and like Betty, she was always the smallest in her class. Standing a little shy of five feet, she still can't reach the high shelves in grocery stores and sometimes finds that shoes made for kids fit her best. But her size didn't stop her from chasing her big dreams of being a published artist in New York City. Xindi is the illustrator of Sylvia Rose and the Cherry Tree by Sandy Shapiro Hurt and the Craftily Ever After series by Martha Maker. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and hopes to have a puppy one day.
