Kiki's Delivery Service Picture Book tells the story of Kiki, a young witch-in-training, who has reached the age of 13. According to tradition, all witches of that age must leave home for one year to learn how to live independently. Accompanied by her talking cat, Jiji, Kiki flies away to the seaside town of Korico.

In Korico, Kiki begins her own delivery service, using her broom as the delivery vehicle. Throughout the story, Kiki must navigate the challenges of her new life, especially when she faces the loss of her magical ability to fly.

This is a breezy picture and storybook featuring artwork taken directly from the movie, Kiki’s Delivery Service.
