Hazel Hutchins Wilson was an American author dedicated to children's literature. Born in April 1898, she spent the early portion of her professional life working within the academic and educational systems, serving as both a school and university librarian. This background in library science and close contact with books and young readers eventually guided her toward her own creative endeavors.

Transitioning from her career in librarianship, Wilson began writing books specifically for children. She pursued this literary path after her library career, contributing to the field of children's literature until her death in August 1992.
