Hazen began her writing career in the 1950s, in the fiction/article department of the Manhattan office of the Ladies' Homes Journal, where she later became poetry editor. The top children's book editor at Golden Press saw her published poetry and asked her to be an editor at Western Publishing, which published many of her early works.
Hazen's first two books, Animal Alphabet from A to Z and Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, were released in 1958. She left her editing job two years later, and has been a full-time freelance writer ever since.
Her first books feature reworkings of fairy tales and classic stories such as David and Goliath and The Sorcerer's Apprentice, while others, such as The Tiny, Tawny Kitten, Playful Puppy, and City Cats, Country Cats, include a straightforward text about animal characters that is easy for children to follow.
