Happy Harriet

Happy Harriet is a realistic story about a lady named Harriet who makes everyone happy. After hurting her leg, she goes to the hospital and shares her happiness with others through art. She draws pictures for the wall and draws suns on her cast. When she returns home, she receives a letter from the hospital saying they want her to come back. She returns and makes the hospital happy again.

Illustrations add detail, interest, and humour to the text and are found on each page. Callouts prompt prediction and allow students to make inferences. The letter that the people from the hospital sent to Harriet is shown.

There are a few prepositional phrases, indicating time, at the beginning of a sentence. Some sentences begin with a dependent clause. Adjectives are used to describe colour and mood. To conclude, thank-you notes to Harriet are shown. In addition, a Word Bank is offered with images to support each word.
