Kiki's Delivery Service (1992)
Creators: Liked Witch-in-training Kiki is always up for a challenge. So when her thirteenth birthday arrives, she's eager to follow the witch tradition of leaving home alone and finding a new place to live that's in need of magic. Kiki lands in the seaside town of Koriko and expects that her special witch's power wil easily bring happiness to the townspeople. But gaining the trust of the locals is trickier than she expected. Luckily, with her faithful and funny cat, Jiji, by her side, Kiki soon discovers that friendship – and magic – can be found in even the most ordinary of places. Kiki's Delivery Service is a Japanese classic, beautifully translated by Emily Balistrieri and brought to life with exquisite interior illustrations by Joe Todd-Stanton.

LovedAnother cat human relationship that comes to mind for me is Kiki and Gigi from Kiki's Delivery Service. That is another very just like healing, protective relationship for me that I love seeing on screen. I loved reading about it in the book.

Review 1 of 3
LovedI just really enjoy Kiki's Delivery Service. It's such a delight. It's a very episodic story about a 12-year-old witch who has to travel from her parents' home to a new town in order to establish herself and build a career for herself.
LovedIt's a really, really charming children's novel that I feel like will be appreciated by adults as well, and it's so wholesome seeing Kiki use her powers to serve the community.
Loveda while back through my library system I did check out that audiobook and enjoyed it so much that I ended up listening to it over and over again
Lovedit was just so fun to read this book like the whole time i just had a smile on my face and it was just a very heartwarming reading experience
Lovedit is playful it is witty it is fun and is full of vibrancy and life and excitement and kiki is more fleshed out and more human than even in the ghibli adaptation

Julie AbeA Bank Street Best Book of 2021!
A young witch must pass a coming-of-age quest or risk losing her magic forever in this enchanting fantasy -- perfect for fans of Kiki's Delivery Service and Aru Shah and the End of Time.
Sometimes all you need is a pinch of magic...
Eva Evergreen is determined to earn the rank of Novice Witch before her thirteenth birthday. If she doesn't, she'll lose her magic forever. For most young witches and wizards, it's a simple enough test:
One: Help your town, do good all around.
Two: Live there for one moon, don't leave too soon.
Three: Fly home by broomstick, the easiest of tricks.
The only problem? Eva only has a pinch of magic. She summons heads of cabbage instead of flowers and gets a sunburn instead of calling down rain. And to add insult to injury, whenever she overuses her magic, she falls asleep.
When she lands in the tranquil coastal town of Auteri, the residents expect a powerful witch, not a semi-magical girl. So Eva comes up with a plan: set up a magical repair shop to aid Auteri and prove she's worthy. She may have more blood than magic, but her "semi-magical fixes" repair the lives of the townspeople in ways they never could have imagined. Only, Eva's bit of magic may not be enough when the biggest magical storm in history threatens the town she's grown to love. Eva must conjure up all of the magic, bravery, and cleverness she can muster– or Auteri and her dreams of becoming a witch will wash away with the storm.
