In this bilingual exploration of modern brujeria for kids ages 3-8, readers move through the rooms of the home as they're introduced to the different components that make up the rich world of Mexican-American magic, like prayer candles, ancestor altars, herbal healing, and more. As a foundational book for beginner brujas and brujos, Casita Brujita encourages them to begin their magical adventures with a solid understanding of the basics.
Casita Brujita is the debut picture book from author Andrea Gutierrez Price, inspired by her own magical practice and cast of kiddos at home. Inspired to create a book that authentically represents the type of magic practiced by her family and so many others, Andrea and illustrator Cynthia Barrera came together to bring this unique story to life. Illustrated with vibrant, retro artwork and magical details on every page, Casita Brujita gently introduces the natural ways that magic blends into a family's day at home.Author Biography
