We are very excited to celebrate Curious Iguana’s very own bookseller Melinda Beatty and her latest release, The Witch’s Table! This children’s book tells of the wobbly relationship between a young witch and the unique table she inherited and of how they come to understand one another.

This exclusive book launch will be held four days before its official release date on February 28 at Dancing Bear Toys & Games from 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm. It is free and open to the public.
For accessibility requests, email [email protected] at least two (2) weeks prior to the event.
About the book:
When a young witch inherits a rather cantankerous family heirloom; she has to figure out how to outwit her cursed companion.
The Table had been in the Witch's family for a very long time. No one remembered who had cursed it to stay with them forever, but none of them liked it much. The young witch initially tries to thwart the Table's shenanigans. But after some time living with the Table, she begins to notice how cold the kitchen floor is on a brisk winter's day, how many nicks and scratches the Table has endured, and how hard it is to stand on all four legs for so many hours, and she comes to realize compassion will get her further than cleverness. This charming and hilarious picture book is about empathy and trying to find common ground with the people--or furniture--around you.
About the author:
Melinda Beatty has had years of practice trying to explain to others why she was just having an imaginary conversation between two people that don't exist, so becoming a writer seemed like the best way to stop everyone from looking at her funny. After years of narrowboat living on the English canals, she and her British husband are now back on dry land in Maryland, where by day, she's a mild-mannered indie bookseller, and by night, she wrangles words, crafts projects, and raises a Labrador and two fierce mini-women.
