A memoir is only a slice of a life. This 'questory' (quest + history) covers more than the beloved cake-eating hippo. 'Not Just a Piece of Cake' is a candid memoir of the realistic process of the process of creativity, via anecdotes.
'Anecdultery' is a Hazel original term for story as she takes the reader behind the books. Hazel shares the humour of a diverse work style and family life behind beloved characters like the cake-eating hippo.
The hippocampus is where memories are kept. Collaborating with illustrators, performers, co-authors and even family, Hazel shares 'the process of the process of writing' and why storytelling matters - culturally and personally.
