Welcome!
I'm Alice — children's author, editor and author coach. I've written more than 50 books for kids, about everything from art to outer space. I love creating fun, thoughtful books that make big ideas feel really exciting and easy to understand.

Atlas Obscura: Wild Life
I wrote about odd-looking orchids and sensational sea slugs for this Atlas Obscura book, my first one for adults! I was one of the contributing authors, and in great company. This book is absolutely packed with weird wonders that show how exciting and precious the natural world really is.
Without doubt, it is a very good thing that there are bright lights out there like Alice Harman, the book’s inventive writer.
Alice Harman cleverly invites children to look at art in different ways … Encouraging curiosity, she turns art history into an adventure.
Longlisted author for Best Book with Facts, for Who Do You Think You Are? (Wide Eyed, 2020, illustrated by Blok Magnaye)
