ABOUT
I’m Hazel, a children's author who loves to write in rhyme, a good dollop of toilet humour, daft wordplay, stuff that makes me belly laugh or anything seriously spooky. I mostly write picture books but also dabble in early middle grade fiction.
I live with my family, including a demanding white cat, a cuddly tuxedo kitten and two small tortoises.
