The Hair Dye Debacle - How Baba Yaga Became Wicked

By M E Baba Yaga

The Hair Dye Debacle

Teaching Discernment in a World Full of Whispers

(A Baba Yaga's Wisdom Tale)

What do you get when you mix one ancient witch, a bold young girl, a bubbling cauldron of hair dye... and a very dramatic hunter?

A rumor, of course.

In this delightfully wise and hilarious forest fable, Baba Yaga tries to help her apprentice Vasilisa dye her hair a brilliant red-but when a passing hunter misinterprets the scene, the tale takes a wild and terrible turn. Suddenly, the whole village believes Baba Yaga is boiling children's heads (She's not, by the way. Just beetroot. Maybe a little madder root. Possibly elder.)

Through rhyme, humor, and gently spooky imagery, The Hair Dye Debacle teaches children one of life's most important lessons:

����️ Don't believe everything you hear-even from first-hand accounts.

Especially when cows, dye, or witches are involved.
