Book Synopsis
"Oh, for the love of stinking skunk farts! My hair is still blue!"
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!
"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!
This fantastic book by Mariasole Brusa and Marta Sevilla is the winner of the V Edition of the Narrating Equality contest.

Review Quotes
This is such a cute book! I liked the positive messages about being yourself and just doing what you like instead of always doing what others expect from you. The witch learns that you don't have to prove yourself to anyone. I love how she goes through this personal journey to accept herself and learn to love her blue hair.--Luminous Libro
31 Days 31 Lists. Bilingual Children's Books. I gotta say, I like a book where a boy's love of hairdressing isn't the entire focus of the book, but remains just a neat detail that aids in the plot. In this book a witch with blue hair is mortified by her looks. It takes a clever kid with talent in his fingertips to make her look exactly the way SHE wants to.--- A Fuse #8 Production (An SLJ Blog)
