Synopsis

The Hair Dye Debacle

Teaching Discernment in a World Full of Whispers
(A Baba Yaga’s Wisdom Tale)

What do you get when you mix one ancient witch, a bold young girl, a bubbling cauldron of hair dye… and a very dramatic hunter?

A rumor, of course.

In this delightfully wise and hilarious forest fable, Baba Yaga tries to help her apprentice Vasilisa dye her hair a brilliant red—but when a passing hunter misinterprets the scene, the tale takes a wild and terrible turn. Suddenly, the whole village believes Baba Yaga is boiling children's heads! (She’s not, by the way. Just beetroot. Maybe a little madder root. Possibly elder.)

Through rhyme, humor, and gently spooky imagery, The Hair Dye Debacle teaches children one of life’s most important lessons:

🕯️ Don’t believe everything you hear—even from first-hand accounts.
Especially when cows, dye, or witches are involved.


🌿 What’s Inside:
  • A funny, magical retelling inspired by Slavic folklore

  • Gentle lessons in discernment, gossip, and how stories grow legs

  • Full-color, traditional-style illustrations

  • Bonus character lore pages for Baba Yaga and her woodland companion, Leshy

Perfect for ages 5–10, bedtime story lovers, little witches in training, and grown-ups who know better than to believe every whispered tale.
