A young girl stops to call out all the sights and sounds on her morning trip to pre-school, but that's not what makes her late-it is her dad's goodbye hug.

Kate was late for preschool, but not for the reasons you might expect. It wasn't because her daddy brushed her hair into poofs, or because they slowed to say hello to neighbours on the way to the bus stop. It wasn't even because she had to wave to all the trucks, cars, and street cleaners on the road. No, Kate was late because just after they arrived at school, her daddy swooped in to give her a great big goodbye hug that lasted a very long time.

Janice N. Harrington is the Ezra Jack Keats Award winning author of Going North. With Hurry Kate or You'll be Late, she has teamed up with illustrator Tiffany Rose to create a delightful picture book about a vehicle obsessed girl and her very patient father.

Reviews for Hurry, Kate, or You'll Be Late!

This tale of a doting father taking his child to school is brightly illustrated in primary colors that pop off the page. Daddy's affection for Kate comes through clearly, from a scene of him brushing her hair to a moment where he stoops to adjust her backpack and tie her shoe. Small book lovers are sure to respond to the joyful imagery as well as the lyrical bounce of the language. . . . A tender snapshot of a loving daddy-daughter bond. -Kirkus Reviews
