Nikki Grimes recommends
The Trouble with Heroes (2025)
Kate Messner
"Split this story like a log, and you'll find concentric circles of metaphor and meaning on every page. There are passages that will gut you, and others that will leave you laughing out loud."
Finding Baba Yaga (2018)
Jane Yolen
"Seductive in the best way possible, Finding Baba Yaga draws you in from first word to last, its secrets doled out like sweet treats.... If you've never met Baba Yaga before, it's time. If you think you have, be assured: not like this."
