Little Witch Hazel: A Year in the Forest is the first book I have read from Wahl, but I certainly hope it will not be the last!

Finally, in Winter: The Blizzard, Hazel finds herself the one in need of help, after her many good deeds aiding all of her friends. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The reader follows Hazel through each season and is able to see her home, the forest, and all of her neighbors in different settings. The non-scary forest she inhabits is filled with magical folk, making this a sweet and gentle read-aloud for even the smallest humans.She hatches a random egg she finds in the woods, learns how to relax and take a break, she investigates an eerie noise, and in the end she gets help from an old friend. Our mission is to nurture a sense of belonging, inspire connection, and spark imagination through our colorful line of paper goods, gifts, and homewares. In "The Haunted Stump", the witch and her friends try to figure out the mystery of a strange howl that's permeating their usually placid forest.

i can absolutely see myself rereading this every season and it made me wish there was a little kid to share it with. Little Witch Hazel will make you feel as if you have journeyed deep into Mosswood Forest alongside Hazel and her friends. The heart of this story is a simplistic, community-oriented life, filled with little adages for everyday life and living. In Spring: The Orphaned Egg, Hazel cares for an abandoned egg, raising Otis the owl when he hatches. phoebe is a precious little witch living amongst fairies and mice and friends, and each of these four little stories focuses on a new season.I am obsessed with this picture book and the adorable chubby main character who is now my life inspiration. In "The Lazy Day", Little Witch Hazel has chores to do and can't understand how everyone else has so much free time. An earthy and beautiful collection of four stories that celebrate the seasons, nature, and life, from award-winning author-illustrator Phoebe Wahl. Woven with themes of friendship, seasonality, and community, this book has beautiful illustrations that are somehow at the same time simple and detailed. I sought this one out (and had it recommended to me) largely on the strength of my interest in witchy picture-books, but having now read it, I think Hazel is less of a witch, in the traditional sense, and more of an elf or woodland sprite.

Autumn: The Haunted Stump sees Hazel and her friends investigating a very spooky sound, and making a new friend in the process.The illustrations are sooo beautiful and full of tiny gem details (for example, in two page spread of creatures floating on leaves on a pond, one of the tiny elves is breastfeeding a baby). I had never heard of her before having this one recommended to me, so I am glad to have that oversight corrected, as her story was engaging and her artwork simply charming.
