Kate O'Shaughnessy“Love her art, her prints, her books. My 5-year-old daughter particularly loves her book, Little Witch Hazel, and I love it, too, for its luscious prose and atmospheric illustrations.”

Carlotta“Filled with whimsy, creativity, and beauty. It makes my son smile and laugh out loud. It’s divided into the four seasons so it’s a nice early intro to that, and to the idea of chapters.”

Jessi“Big agree, our whole house loves these. Particularly in a two boy house full of truck books, we all love the tenderness of these, the seasons.”

Allie Mansor“This book has four (long-ish) chapters: one for each season. In each season, Little Witch Hazel discovers the world around her and learns more about herself. Sometimes we just read one season, sometimes we read them all. This book is magical and beautifully illustrated.”

Jessica“Beautiful illustrations and our protagonist is a tiny and occasionally grumpy witch midwife with hairy legs! Takes us beautifully through the seasons in four chapters that stand alone and work together as a cohesive and circular story.”
emma sanger-johnson“do I cry when Otis comes to the rescue? of course. Seasonal stories about a fantastical land, focusing on the life of the little witch”
Joyce“a sweet story for every season”
Seimi“Little Witch Hazel is a tiny witch who lives in (an enchanted?) forest. She's a midwife who helps the people in her community. The book takes you through the four seasons, and just have the most magical illustrations.”
