My hair is still blue!" <p>This witch is very angry. She wants her hair color booger green, blood red, or even muddy like a swamp. But not blue, like the blue fairy! She wants to be a witchy witch... so she decides she's going to kidnap a kid at the park!</p> <p>"Look at this runt, he's stolen those dolls from her sister", she thinks as she stalks her prey... But she's in for a big surprise!</p> <p>This fantastic book by Mariasole Brusa and Marta Sevilla is the winner of the V Edition of the Narrating Equality contest.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Though its mission is clear, this isn't a didactic tract; our introduction to the grouchy blue-haired witch protagonist is: "Oh, for the love of STINKING SKUNK FARTS!" She didn't mean to turn her hair blue -- though in Sevilla's illustrations, it's a beautiful balayage -- and she decides to bolster her self-esteem by snatching a child. As it turns out, the boy is an amateur beautician, and his hair artistry turns the witch's frown upside-down. Bold-hued illustrations with eye-catching patterns and details enhance the enchanting tale, whose message is worn with style. <b>ELISSA GERSHOWITZ-Horn Book</b><br><br>Concerned that her flowing blue locks don't look very witchy, a frustrated spellcaster gets an unexpected attitude adjustment from a wise young stylist. She learns to follow her heart and find true happiness, instead of fitting society's image of an ideal witch. The book is available in both English and Spanish language versions. Its bruja loves spiders, black cats, and hairy rats, and its audience will love its bold, patterned illustrations, humorous commentary, and relatable range of emotions.---<b>ForeWord Reviews</b><br><br>The copyright page says this story was the winner of a contest that "aims to spread equality in literature that promotes respect for identity and battles against stereotypes."
