Career

Hazelhoff made her debut in 1981 with the book Nou moe![1][2] She won the Gouden Ezelsoor award as well as the Zilveren Griffel award for this book.[2] Hazelhoff's first three books, Nou moe! (1981), Hierzo! (1982) and Auww! (1983), feature the same character, a young girl called Maartje.[1] Hazelhoff received an award for two out of these three books as Hazelhoff won the Gouden Griffel award in 1984 for the book Auww![2] Many of Hazelhoff's later books would also feature female protagonists.[1]

She went on to win the Zilveren Griffel award two more times: in 1995 for the book Veren en in 2007 for her book Bezoek van Mister P.[1] Hazelhoff based her book Bezoek van Mister P. on her own experience with rheumatism from which she suffered herself for most her life.[1]

Hazelhoff also won the Nienke van Hichtum-prijs in 1995 for her book Veren (1994).

Her books have been illustrated by various illustrators, including Joep Bertrams, Sandra Klaassen and Sylvia Weve.[1]
