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

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 can't stand more than waiting. 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 this day 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 single day—if she can just slow down long enough to see them. With rhymed text that kids will love and colorful, 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 for anyone—child or adult—who finds that having patience is hard.
