Phoebe Wahl is one of my favorite artists & writers. Everything she creates is so full of love & weirdness & whimsy. I loved Little Witch Hazel with her hairy legs & her odd neighbors & her grumpy attitude & her big, caring heart. I loved reluctantly, lazy summer days & spooky fall evenings. I loved full circle moments of care in the spring & winter. This is so dear & lovely. Grown ups should read pictures books forever.
