Who We Are
HappyHarperBooks.com is the site for the Happy Harper children’s book, web, TV, other platforms, and merchandise under the In DisQovery brand. The series is about Happy Harper, a quirky Haitian-American little girl growing up in and exploring Brooklyn. Matching her colorful and happy personality are her signature spectacles, wiry reddish-brown curls, and many mismatched outfits. And her ever-present wish for a pet chicken.
