Harriet Zaidman has a lifelong interest in history, and as a teacher-librarian in Winnipeg for 25 years, saw how historical fiction can teach young people about important events that shaped their own lives. As well as two novels, she has written three picture books. Harriet is a lifelong Winnipegger, food blogger (Northendnosh.weebly.com). She has had three children and a few badly-behaved dogs. Harriet has five grandchildren now, too. She loves to see the world, and her most favourite trip recently was to the Olympics in Paris.
