Harriet Hound

Kate Foster is a children's author writing about friends, family and dogs. Originally from a small town in the south east of England, she now lives on the stunning Gold Coast in Australia with her family and second-hand dogs. She is passionate about encouraging and teaching a wider understanding of autism and mental illness via positive approach and representation.

Harriet Hound is eight years old, autistic, and loves dogs. She also has a superpower: from her family’s rescue shelter, she can summon whoever’s needed to solve a problem, from clever collies to strong huskies. With lively illustrations and engaging, down-to-earth text, these three stories of foiling vegetable heists and saving carnivals will delight canine-crazy 6+ readers.
