Baba Yaga

Once upon a time, in faraway lands, there lived a small family.
During a particularly cold winter, the mother fell seriously ill.
Despite the care of her husband and daughter, she did not get better and passed away before spring.

In this adaptation of the classic story of Baba Yaga, Joanna Mora tells us the adventure of a girl who, tired of being mistreated, runs away from her family. On her way, she will meet characters who will make her face her fears and become stronger, to return to a different home from the one she left. This version of Baba Yaga is a beautifully illustrated album book, which rescues the wisdom of the ancient witches, with a disturbing and dreamlike aesthetic proposal.
