If you loved how the little witch in A Very Brave Witch discovers humans aren't so scary after meeting a kind girl on Halloween, you'll smile at the friendly witch in Room on the Broom who keeps making new pals mid-flight. The whimsical spells, the not-at-all-scary vibe, and a finale where kindness saves the day hit that same sweet, magical note.
You enjoyed the way A Very Brave Witch plays with Halloween fears—like a witch learning humans aren't frightening—so you'll love the goofy laughs in The Hallo-Wiener. Oscar the dachshund gets teased for his hot-dog costume, but the jokes flip the script on what's “scary,” delivering the same kind of giggly, good-hearted twist.
If the moment in A Very Brave Witch where a witch and a human girl become friends charmed you, Strega Nona offers that same kindly, non-spooky witch energy. Strega Nona uses magic to help her town, and when Big Anthony makes a mess of the pasta pot, the ending restores harmony with a smile—light, hopeful, and heartwarming.
If you connected with how A Very Brave Witch gently shows that humans and witches can understand each other after a Halloween meeting and some shared trick-or-treating, Spookley the Square Pumpkin echoes that lesson. Spookley’s different shape first draws doubts, but when a storm hits, his uniqueness saves the day—celebrating empathy and open-mindedness.
If you liked how A Very Brave Witch keeps the focus tight—one witch, one girl, one Halloween night—this tale’s simple walk through the woods will feel just right. The little old lady meets clomping shoes and rattling pants, but, like the witch who discovers there’s nothing to fear, she turns the “spooky” into something friendly and fun.
