Written and illustrated by Hazel Village founder Jane Van Cleef, The Gifts of the Year stars Gwendolyn Raccoon but includes all the Hazel Village animal friends. Hard cover with sage green cloth spine and gold foil lettering. 32 pages, printed in full color on heavy, cream colored, recycled paper. 7.125”x 8.75”. Ideal for ages 3-8. 

Gwendolyn Raccoon and her woodland animal friends enjoy every season in Hazel Village. They celebrate holidays; harvest the treasures of field and forest; and make nice presents for their friends. By the longest night of the year, Gwendolyn has made many fine presents and wrapped them up as nicely as pie. What will she do with them next, and what will she find in the morning?

Stella G. ★★★★★

My toddler insists on reading the Gwendolyn Raccoon story every night—the illustrations are so detailed and cozy. The sage green cloth cover wipes clean easily after snack time.

Nicholas V. ★★★★★

The cloth cover feels lovely in hand, way nicer than most kids' hardcovers, and the sage green looks great on the shelf. My four-year-old asks for the raccoon's story almost every night, and I like that all the other animal friends show up in the illustrations too.

Emily B. ★★★★★

My niece is obsessed with Gwendolyn Raccoon so this hardcover was an instant win at bedtime. The illustrations are detailed enough that she keeps finding new little animals in the background, and the cloth binding has already survived a few drops.
