It is my gentle homage to the wildest witch of all, Baba Yaga. It features 12 whimsical watercolor paintings, and the text is a poem I wrote honoring the bony-legged Witch of the Wood. Everything I write for picture books is intended to be shared orally with an easeful and engaging whimsical flow. Why even write a picture book if it isn't fun to read and hear?? The goal of all my books is to give the listener a felt sense of connection with nature, wonder, and the liminal... our animate world.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Each full-color paperback book is roughly 4.75x6.75 inches, 28 pages, and is printed using fair and sustainable practices in the US. The cover is a thick textured watercolor paper and the interior pages are a high quality textured art paper. I lovingly hand-bind each copy myself with red linen thread. All of the illustrations in this book feature little snippets of Slavic Baba Yaga tales, such as the comb that becomes a forest, her geese, her 'children,' her chicken-footed house, her golden apples, and of course, her classic skeleton garden gate.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Children of the Wood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47242193764508,"sku":"9798218871437","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/6101\/6988\/files\/Image5_2b8e7b25-5b6a-4471-a05d-fe9deff6bc1e.jpg?v=1784576139","url":"https:\/\/herbsandarts.com\/products\/have-you-met-the-witch-of-the-wood","provider":"Herbs and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
