HAZEL AND MABEL: TWO HEARTS APART (illustrated by Anita Bagdi, releasing from Gnome Road Publishing, September 30, 2025)
Did you ever move away, and when you came back to visit your best friend – the one you spent every afternoon with - your friendship wasn’t exactly the same?
OR did your best friend – the one who shared secrets and sleepovers – move away, and when she visited one day, you didn’t feel like best friends anymore?
In the upcoming picture book, HAZEL AND MABEL: TWO HEARTS APART, beautifully illustrated by Anita Bagdi, two forest friends fight to get the heart of their friendship beating again after one moves away.
I am so happy to share this cover release! My heart is full!
