More About the Author

Her school year was spent in Oakland, California, and summers in her beloved Michigan. She describes her family members as marvelous storytellers. "My fondest memories are of sitting around a stove or open fire, eating apples and popping corn while listening to the old ones tell glorious stories about their homeland and the past. We are tenacious traditionalists and sentimentalists.... With each retelling our stories gain a little more Umph!"Studying in the United States and Australia, Patricia Polacco has earned an M.F.A. and a Ph. D. in art history, specializing in Russian and Greek painting, and iconographic history. She is a museum consultant on the restoration of icons. As a participant in many citizen exchange programs for writers and illustrators, Patricia Polacco has traveled extensively in Russia as well as other former Soviet republics. She continues to support programs that encourage Russo-American friendships and understanding. She is also deeply involved in inner-city projects here in the U.S. that promote the peaceful resolution of conflict and encourage art and literacy programs.The mother of a grown son and a daughter, Patricia Polacco currently resides in Michigan, where she has a glorious old farm that was built during the time of Lincoln.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Una buena leccion.,
This review is from: Gracias, Sr. Falker = Thank You, Mr. Falker (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
I read this to my second grade bilingual students and they made an immediate connection with Patricia and her difficulty in reading and how she was bullied by other students because of this difficulty. They definitely felt empathy with her situation. They were then deeply impressed to find out that she is the one who writes children's books.
5.0 out of 5 stars
