What makes you peculiar may be the root of your power.
Before she was the fearsome witch of the chicken-legged hut, Baba Yaga was a peculiar child. She saved worms from puddles, spoke with her grandfather's ghost, honored bones and beasts, and carried the strange knowing of things not yet happened.
The Making of Baba Yaga is a gorgeously illustrated origin tale for one of folklore's most beloved and mysterious figures. Part myth, part empowerment story, this book will enchant readers young and old with its message:
✨ Strange children are not broken. They are marked. What sets them apart when young becomes their power when old.
Perfect for:
Children ages 6-12 who love fairy tales and mythology
Parents and teachers seeking stories of empathy, belonging, and self-acceptance
Lovers of folklore, magic, and beautifully illustrated books
Step into the forest. Sit by the fire. And hear the story of how Baba Yaga became the Crone we still whisper about today.
