Baba Yaga Versions I've found


I've been having some trouble finding a variety also, but I recommend asking a librarian (children's librarian if possible) because I've found that a lot of them that are less similar have weird un-yaga names. 
Some noteworthy versions the Children's librarian helped me find: 
-The Black Geese by Jessica Souhami
-Baba Yaga and The Wise Doll by Hiawyn Oran (the child is, think, not gender identified, and named "Too Nice" which is interesting to me)
-Baba Yaga by Katya Arnold (This story focuses on a little boy named Tishka, shortened from Tereshichka, who is apparently present in a lot of Russian stories. This one is worth reading especially for the introduction and the illustrations.
