Baba Marta is a story inspired by Bulgarian folktales and the tradition of martenitsi (thin double strand bracelets made of twisted red and white yarn). Baba Marta is a fickle grumpy old woman who lives high up in the mountains. Her mood can change the seasons and bring icy winds or warm sun rays. As Baba Marta becomes unhappy, winter arrives. Snow piles up for months. Will Baba Marta ever smile and bring spring? Papa and Penda, who live further down the mountain, must endure this long cold winter and dream of green grass, flowers, and warm nights.
