Hazel and Mable: Two Hearts Apart was a sweet story about two best friends, separated by a move, who find a new way to connect with each other after growing older and being apart. This one hit home as my little ones just experienced a very similar situation. I have to say that the illustrations were absolutely adorable! Mable and Hazel share everything together, know each others secrets and love spending every moment together. Things change when Hazel and her family move away. Now the friends have made new friends, have now likes and dislikes and are not the same as they were before. This story shows how the two navigate those differences when Hazel comes to visit and how they learn to accept the new parts of each other and finding new ways to connect with each other. This book is great for showing children a realistic view of friendships and how, even though you are far apart, you can still share a special bond with someone without seeing them every single day.

Thank you to Netgalley, Gnome Road Publishing, Melissa Stoller and Anita Bagdi for this e-ARC for review!

Thank you for the ARC. This was a cute story about friendship. It shows how, over time, people and their likes change but friendships can be ever lasting regardless. The illustrations were also very well done.
