Brianna Would Be A Baba Yaga!

If our friend, Brianna were a monster or mythological creature I think

she would be a Baba Yaga.

If the Baba Yaga was a pretty and smart young girl she would be Brianna.

The Baba Yaga lives deep in the woods in a home that looks much like this one here.

Many people fear the Baba Yaga. Some Baba Yagas are helpful to people and others are more troublesome. Of course our friend, Brianna would be the helpful sort of Baba Yaga. Baba Yagas care for children. The Baba Yaga in Patricia Polocco's book makes a great Babushka (grandmother.)
