Critics Review
“This guide offers young mystics an accessible and enriching introduction to brujeria, inspired in Latin, Hispanic, and Indigenous traditions…this title is as practical as it is inspirational.”––People En Español
“Rivera offers young readers a warm and empowering introduction to what it means to be a bruja–not as a figure of fear but as a source of love, strength, and connection. The text is grounded in accessible language that welcomes all readers, including those unfamiliar with bruja traditions and their Latinx and Indigenous roots… A vibrant, affirming addition to picture book collections that center cultural pride, self-love, and intergenerational wisdom. Highly recommended for libraries looking to support diverse and inclusive storytelling.”
––School Library Journal, starred review“Content encourages self-reflection and contemplation, bringing in connectivity to nature, astrology, protective practices, and other activities associated with centering and finding inner peace…This will appeal to occult-dabbling tweens and teens.”––Booklist
