Finally, in Winter: The Blizzard, Hazel finds herself the one in need of help, after her many good deeds aiding all of her friends. 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. A pleasant walk through the four seasons, this book is four vignettes of stories of Little Witch Hazel and her life in the forest.

In "The Orphaned Egg", the diminutive witch finds a rather large egg in the woods and takes it home to keep it safe. There are big themes that preschool-aged children go through, and each theme is handled with gentle care, humor and triumph.

The writing is lush and lyrical, and the textured, earth-toned illustrations expertly capture Hazel's world, both cozy and gloriously wild .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. 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. Through all the seasons Little Witch Hazel has adventures in the forest helping animals and friends. 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'd recommend it to those who enjoy stories about witches of the non-spooky variety, as well as to those who like picture books with a more classic feel.

Little Witch Hazel is who I want to be when I grow up, a stout chubby lady with hairy legs and a big pointy red hat living in a cozy little house in the forest helping her fellow creatures.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. Little Witch Hazel will make you feel as if you have journeyed deep into Mosswood Forest alongside Hazel and her friends. In "The Lazy Day", Little Witch Hazel has chores to do and can't understand how everyone else has so much free time. The quiet but insistent rejection of conventional norms is both cheerworthy and effortlessly integrated, and the result is a story that can sit happily next to any classic fairy story as well as contemporary picture books directly addressing physical differences. Instead we just march through the four seasons doing a whole lot of nothing except walking around a tiny village peopled with all sorts of elves, gnomes, and forest critters.
