Hazel and Mabel: Two Hearts Apart

Hazel and Mabel: Two Hearts Apart tells the story of best friends Hazel and Mabel, who do nearly everything together. Hazel is a bear, and Mabel is a skunk. Then, one day, Mabel moves away. Hazel and Mabel write letters to one another, and over time, they both meet new friends. When Mabel comes to visit Hazel, they are both excited. However, both of them have changed over the years, and it seems like they no longer have much in common.

This is a sweet story about friends who grow apart, only to find common ground and remember why their friendship worked so well in the first place. Children ages 3 to 10 will love the easy-to-understand story and colorful illustrations. I especially loved the details the illustrator used in each picture. The characters’ expressions and the magical backgrounds will make children smile from ear to ear. This is a book that the whole family will enjoy reading over and over again.
