Hazel Is All That

“Young readers and listeners will readily see themselves in Hazel’s wide-eyed take on the world. The blocky, digitally manipulated pencil and watercolor illustrations are bright and exuberant, with an exaggerated quality. A child-friendly affirmation that we all contain multitudes.” —Kirkus

“The cast of rainbow-colored dogs in all shapes and sizes brings a cheerful humor to the familiar moral about not letting first impressions define the multitudes that go into what makes us human (or canine). Every page is vibrant, with splotchy, watercolor-like textures stamped over trees, grass, and fur in unusual and engaging colors.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“Otis’ digitally enhanced pencil-and-watercolor illustrations are full of detailed scenes affording
readers different views of Hazel’s changing emotions and each dog’s multifaceted personality.
This picture book offers a fresh perspective on the fallacy of first impressions.” —Booklist
