I’m excited to tell you about a soon-to-be-released children’s book by prolific author and friend, Allia Zobel Nolan. It’s entitled HARRIET HURRY-UP AND THE OH-SO-SLOW DAY! and has all the ingredients of a treasured favorite.

With her spiky hair and spunky spirit, Harriet is both adorable and relatable.  She’s always in a hurry, and she hates to wait. Can anyone relate? I know I can—traffic jams, waiting rooms, that unanswered text, the package that hasn’t arrived. Perhaps there’s a “hurry-up Harriet” in all of us.           

Learn how Harriet trusts God to help her overcome her impatience. As you follow her journey, you’ll delight in meeting her family, her pets, her teacher, and classmates. For parents and child care providers, you’ll especially love the back cover where there are fun activities for children to help them learn to be more patient.

And, finally,  you will fall in love with the vivid illustrations. Before I read a single word, the persona of Harriet with her flaming red “I’m-in-a-hurry” hair warmed my heart and made me want more.      

When I read this story to my youngest grandson Max, I asked, “Is there anything you’d like to say to Ms. Allia?” Max replied, “HOORAY!” I couldn’t agree more.  Hooray for Harriet!
