Hazelhoff's first three books, Nou moe! (1981), Hierzo! (1982) and Auww! (1983), feature the same character, a young girl called Maartje. Hazelhoff received an award for two out of these three books as Hazelhoff won the Gouden Griffel award in 1984 for the book Auww! Many of Hazelhoff's later books would also feature female protagonists.
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. Hazelhoff based her book Bezoek van Mister P. on her own experience with rheumatism from which she suffered herself for most her life.
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.
