Gr 3-6–What makes black cats special? How can you make dreams come true? Romero and Lozano team up to create a colorful and vibrant Spanish-language guide that takes young readers on a magical trip to discover what witchcraft is really all about. “Brujas” are demystified, and witch rituals are explained to reveal their true power. Spells, potion recipes, and lists of tools used to develop cleansing routines that heal not harm introduce new vocabulary. Romero’s text and Lozano’s Illustrations will charm young explorers to seek ways to live more harmoniously. Dedicated to helping school age readers who are proficient in Spanish, or those immersing themselves in this language, Romero’s book helps the curious child tap into their inner strengths and learn more about self-care. Parents and caretakers will find meditative rituals that combine observation and journaling useful. Librarians and educators will appreciate how each chapter focuses on bits of myth and witchcraft facts that shine a brighter light on seemingly dark and dangerous concepts. Opportunities to engage in research about the universe can also encourage learners to create their own experiments and note what makes these useful to sustain the natural world, and themselves.
VERDICT A good choice for Spanish-language children’s nonfiction collections where there is a demand for astrology, self-help, and metaphysical-focused titles.
