The Nurse’s Office Needs a Witch
by Hirochika Ishikawa
illus. by Aka
An ordinary junior high school, an ordinary nurse’s office but an extraordinary teacher: a witch. Sometimes, the children come to the nurse’s office not because they’re hurting physically, but because they just want someone to talk to. And that’s she does: listen, talk, and then offer a good luck charm to each child seeking her counsel to overcome their worries. This collection of sensitively written short stories picks up some common themes of anxiety and stress for children of the target reading age.
