​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!
​

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!

Interview: Zara González Hoang, author of A New Kind of Wild

Las Musas wishes a happy book birthday to Zara González Hoang on the release of her picture book A New Kind of Wild!

What does it feel like to move to a new city, leaving behind what you knew and loved? Can you find “a new kind of wild” in a strange new place?  Zara González Hoang explores these questions in her magical and colorful author-illustrator debut, A New Kind of Wild, which “is an imaginative exploration of the true meaning of ‘home.’”

Alexandra Alessandri interviews Zara about her inspiration and process, but first, here’s a description of this stunning book:

This sweet author-illustrator debut celebrates imagination, the magic of friendship, and all the different ways we make a new place feel like home.
Picture
For Ren, home is his grandmother's little house, and the lush forest that surrounds it. Home is a place of magic and wonder, filled with all the fantastical friends that Ren dreams up. Home is where his imagination can run wild. 

For Ava, home is a brick and cement city, where there's always something to do or see or hear. Home is a place bursting with life, where people bustle in and out like a big parade. Home is where Ava is never lonely because there's always someone to share in her adventures. 

When Ren moves to Ava's city, he feels lost without his wild. How will he ever feel at home in a place with no green and no magic, where everything is exactly what it seems? Of course, not everything in the city is what meets the eye, and as Ren discovers, nothing makes you feel at home quite like a friend.

Like many in our community we've watched the last few weeks in a whirlwind of anxiety, worry, and confusion.

As members of our communities we applaud the decisions to cancel events, festivals, and more for the safety of those around us. As authors it made us wonder, how can we connect with our readers during this time of "social distancing"? 

In response, Las Musas has launched an exciting webinar series to connect our authors with readers, writers, and educators around the globe. 


Every month, we will offer a series of free webinars including:

Book Journeys...
Want to know what it takes to become a published author? Las Musas take you on a unique behind-the-scenes book journey! They will describe in detail how they took their books from idea to publication. They will also answer all your questions about the process of becoming an author. 

Book Club & Author Q & As...
A book club where the authors answer all your questions! ALL YOUR QUESTIONS... OK, within reason. 

Writing Craft and Publishing Insights...
Need help figuring out what is the best method to plot? How to write a query letter? Get a literary agent to represent you? Las Musas share everything they have learned along their journey to publication, from surviving your first draft to signing that first book deal! 

ANNNND our first event is NEXT WEEK!!
