Harrison Waits

By Missy Hagen

Patience is a hard lesson for little ones, but Harrison is about to turn "waiting" into an adventure!

Harrison is anxiously counting down the minutes for something special. We don’t know what it is yet, but we do know one thing: staying still is tough. Luckily, Harrison has a plan to keep his hands and mind busy.

From the clever mind of Missy Hagen comes a whimsical tale that doesn't just tell kids to "be patient"—it shows them how. Through a delightful play on the letters "H" and "W," readers will follow Harrison as he discovers that the joy isn’t just in the arrival, but in the journey itself.

Why parents and teachers love Harrison Waits:

• The Power of Patience: Provides a gentle, relatable resource to discuss the concept of waiting and managing big emotions.

• Interactive Fun: Every page features hidden "H" and "W" words! Can you and your child find them all?

• Classic Charm: Beautifully illustrated with a soft, nostalgic color scheme reminiscent of classic newspaper comics.

• Literacy Building: Uses clever alliteration and wordplay to engage early readers and listeners alike.

"Quite simply the cutest book I have read in quite some time... This book gives parents and caregivers the perfect opportunity to talk about the idea of waiting." — Literary Titan
