In the book Leo, It's Time, readers spend the day with Leo as he learns the different times of day, completes his chores, meets with his friends, goes to school and learns about his family.
Local author Jenese Harris has worked in television for over 20 years. But before she was a local news anchor and meteorologist, she was a little girl, growing in the Midwest surrounded by lots of family. Although some of her family lived far away, her father, James Leonard Harris would tell her stories all about them. One of those stories was about his dad, Leonard Napoleon Harris, who worked hard for a railroad company. This family tradition of storytelling is what inspired her to create Leo, a child who helps other kids learn about life and family.
