Harriet Howe  Books: Follow The Leader, Tigers Last Roar, The Street Where Santa Lives

Harriet’s first word was ‘book’, she’s loved stories ever since, so it’s a dream come true to end up writing her own.  When not writing, Harriet works in television.  But she’s happiest with a pencil in one hand, a cup of tea in the other, brewing up her next story.  She is the author of two picture books Follow The Leader and Tigers Last Roar.
