Witch Hazel

Reach for this book when your child is beginning to notice the passing of time or asking questions about a grandparent's younger years. It is a beautiful tool for navigating the bittersweet realization that our loved ones had whole lives before us, and that one day we will be the ones passing down the stories. Through the metaphor of a magical garden where memories are harvested, the story follows young Hazel and her grandmother as they dust off old tales and plant new ones. It addresses themes of legacy and the continuity of family love with a gentle, whimsical touch. This is an ideal choice for families looking to celebrate the bond between generations while softly introducing the concept of life's seasons. Its lyrical prose and ethereal illustrations provide a comforting space to discuss how we keep those we love close to us through the stories we tell.
