¡Celebra la magia de las brujas y la magia que llevas dentro!

A witch-themed picture book unlike any other—it’s nonfiction!

La mayoría de las personas, incluidos los niños, tienen asociaciones muy específicas con la palabra “bruja”: tal vez una mujer intrigante con verrugas o cara verde, con un sombrero puntiagudo y tacones, que prepara una poción con ingredientes espantosos destinada a causar daño o a ejercer magia oscura. Y aunque las brujas son reales, ¡nada de eso es cierto! Durante muchos siglos mujeres sabias, poderosas y sanadoras han sido demonizadas por hombres que temen perder el poder o el orgullo. Y a lo largo de esos mismos siglos, ciertas personas han transmitido su conocimiento vivido y aprendido sobre el poder de la naturaleza para curar. Aquellos que se identifican como brujas hoy en día suelen ser curanderos naturales con sabiduría que sirve para ayudar a quienes los rodean.

Escrito en un tono conversacional e ilustrado en un estilo accesible, este libro, ahora disponible en español, disipa los estereotipos y amplía el conocimiento de los lectores jóvenes sobre lo que significa ser una bruja REAL. ¡Completo con una poción y un hechizo sugeridos en el material de fondo, este es un homenaje actual y digno a las brujas!


Most people, kids included, have very specific associations with “witch”—perhaps a scheming, warted, and/or green-faced woman in a pointy hat and heels, brewing a potion with gruesome ingredients intended for harm or dark magic. And though witches are real, none of that is actually true! Over many centuries, knowledgeable, powerful, and healing women have been demonized by men who fear a loss of power or pride. And through those same centuries, certain people have passed down their lived and learned knowledge of nature’s power to heal. Those who identify as witches today are most often natural healers whose wisdom serves to help those around them.

Written in a conversational, engaging tone, and illustrated in an accessible and appealing style, this book dispels stereotypes and expands young readers’ knowledge of what it means to be a REAL witch. Complete with a suggested potion and spell in the back matter, this is a current and worthy celebration of witches!
