Why Harold?

Unlike many children's books that tell children what to think, Harold allows children to laugh, think, discuss and discover life's lessons for themselves.

Each story creates opportunities for meaningful conversations at home without feeling like a lesson.

New to Harold?

We recommend beginning with ARC 1 – The Foundations Years (Books 1–6).

These six adventures introduce Harold, his friends and the humorous mishaps that help children develop confidence, resilience, responsibility and positive decision-making.
