Edwards, Hazel

Hazel Edwards has a cake-eating hippo on her roof, an OAM for Literature and thousands of book-children, as well as a real family, Hazelnuts she has mentored and a readership in ten languages. The author-reading-ambassador explains where her story ideas came from and why writing, longterm, is mentally risky but vital for a community (OAM is not for Hippo as an Outsized, Awesome Myth.)
