Harper the Heron
Harper never sets out looking for adventures.
Most days, she’s perfectly happy sketching beside the river, collecting interesting reeds, or watching dragonflies dance above the water.
But somehow, whenever she slows down long enough to notice the little things, something unexpected always seems to find her.
A curious ripple. A forgotten object caught among the cattails. A mystery hidden in plain sight.
Thoughtful, creative, and endlessly observant, Harper sees details that others overlook. She fills her sketchbooks with drawings, questions, and discoveries gathered from her wanderings along the riverbank. Some become useful inventions. Some become stories. And a few lead to surprises she never could have predicted.
When she isn’t exploring, you’ll likely find her sharing jam and oatcakes with friends, gathering supplies for her latest project, or trying to remember where she left something important.
Again.
