Omschrijving
Baba Yaga, the witch from Slavonic mythology is coming alive in this fairy tale. An Leysen draws you into an imaginative story about a wicked witch and a sweet and brave little girl. For children ages 5 and up.
"Leyson, whose previous retellings include The Nutcracker and Pinocchio's Dream, recounts the legend of the witch Baba Yaga through dramatic text and richly textured mixed-media illustrations...The larger-than-life artwork should make for shivery read-alouds on the way to the story's happy ending." - Publishers Weekly "The illustrations in this book are wonderful. They make the story seem magical and Olga is such a beautiful little girl. A great book when studying fairytales, especially if looking at ones from various cultures and lands. I would recommend this book to public, school and class libraries." -- Carla Johnson-Hicks, Primary school educator "...just scary enough without going too far for little ones. I highly recommend this book for a wonderful story time!" -- Jen Trower, Librarian, Tidewater Community College/City of Virginia Beach "One of the wonderful things about fairytale retellings is the way they each feel unique. While Leysen sticks to a fairly traditional retelling, the illusrations are lovely and have a dreamy quality that keep the book from feeling as scary as it could be." -- Shawna Herron, Columbia City Community Library "The illustrations are are absolutely fabulous and the book is worth reading just for those alone." -- Jessica Gerdes, Yellowstone Library "Charming Illustrations and a story that's suitable for kids." -- Kelly Garbato, Vegan Daemon
