Helena Garcia

Children's Author

Following her success on "Bake Off", Helena published two adult non-fiction titles, The Wicked Baker and The Witch-Crafting Handbook (both Quadrille). She has developed her own design-led brand "Witches by Helena Garcia", which offers home accessories and fashion products for "the modern witch".

 

My Mummy is a Witch will be her first children’s book. A rhyming story celebrating the love between a mother and daughter, with a fantasy twist, the story is narrated by a young girl who describes all the things she does with her mum throughout the day and explains how they make memories together.

 

“The perception of witches has been skewed throughout history and this book seems like a fantastic opportunity to show the loving and joyful aspects of witching culture. I was keen to work with Owlet Press because I knew as a smaller publisher, they’d be collaborative and help realise my vision to bring magic to a younger audience."
