The Swan Road

A novel of blood, power and forbidden questions.

Some days there's no time left for magic

Bedtime comes fast. The good intentions — the rituals, the traditions, the stories that mean something — get lost between school runs and screens. You don't need one more thing to do. You need something that already knows how to do it with you.

Story. Rhythm. Seasons. Connection.

BaBeeYaga isn't a book. It's a way back into rhythm — seasonal stories, small rituals, and a voice that feels like your own grandmother is in the room, reminding you what matters. Monday can have a colour again. The full moon can be an occasion. Ten quiet minutes can become a memory.

Dr. Kathya Kaye

Meet Dr. Kaye

I have spent much of my life watching how human beings learn, grow, remember and belong.

BaBeeYaga grew from a simple question: how do we give children rhythm, belonging and imagination in a very fast modern world? Her books are not about making childhood perfect — they're invitations to read together, notice the moon, and sit for ten quiet minutes.
