A standalone adult novel — part of the BaBeeYaga world, written for the grown-ups who love it.

What you'll find inside

A reflective, literary read for adults — not a children's story
Old Irish proverbs (seanfhocail) woven through the narrative
Themes of inheritance, memory, nature and slowing down
The same spirit of rhythm and rootedness found across the BaBeeYaga world, written for the adults who love it

Why Dr. Kaye wrote this book

“Marginal Notes is for the mothers and grandmothers who read BaBeeYaga stories to their children, and who might want a story of their own — one that speaks to what it means to inherit a way of living, not just a house or a name.”

Who this book especially suits

Mothers and grandmothers drawn to the BaBeeYaga world who want a book written for them — reflective, rooted in Irish tradition, and quietly hopeful.
