Harriet Hurry-Up and the Oh-So-Slow Day!

Written by Allia Zobel Nolan; illustrated by Alexandra Colombo

“Can you send me some patience, God? Please?”

Harriet’s mom calls her Harriet Hurry-Up—and it’s easy to see why. There’s nothing this little girl

hates more than having to wait. From a slowpokey sun that won’t rise before she does, to the shy

sprouts on her school potato experiment, to the long line at the store with Mom, everything takes forever for Harriet. Why, oh, why can’t things just go faster?

But with her Gran’s help, this impatient little girl is learning to trust God’s timing and find the

blessings he puts in every day—if she can just slow down long enough to see them.

With rhymed text that kids will love and whimsical illustrations full of surprises , Harriet Hurry-Up and the Oh-So-Slow Day! will quickly become a family favorite. It’s perfect for birthdays, back-to-school reading, and o anyone—child or adult—who finds that sometimes waiting is the hardest thing to do.
