​IF YOUR BABYSITTER IS A BRUJA  is coming soon from Simon for Young Readers, in August 2022!

​Do not judge a bruja by her sombrero, but…
 feel free to judge this book by its amazing cover!
​
Picture
This bouncy, bilingual picture book is an enchanting, rollicking read-aloud for small ones with big imaginations: 
​
On the night before Halloween, a new babysitter might be more than she appears. If she wears a black sombrero and cackles like a crow, she might just be a bruja! One little girl knows bath time is really the bruja’s way of putting her in a boiling cauldron, and the only way to keep her at bay is with a magic potion—or is it?
​
 With boundless imagination and plenty of tricks up her sleeve, the young protagonist may just have the best night ever!


Read more about it at Mr. Schu’s blog and pre-order here!
