More About the Author

P.K. Hallinan began writing children's books 35 years ago when his wife asked him to make a book for their two young sons as a Christmas gift. He did, and the feedback he got from friends and neighbors inspired him to write more books. Since then, P.K. has written and illustrated 89 children's books and has sold more than 8,000,000 copies worldwide.

P.K. was born in Los Angeles in 1944 and spent his youth primarily in Bethesda, Maryland and in the San Fernando Valley. Although P.K. never studied art, his disappointment with the work of the artist assigned to illustrate his first book, motivated him to learn to draw. He has been illustrating his own books ever since.

"If I did any one thing right," says P.K., "I decided very early on to write books that help children and parents alike have better and happier lives. That decision has kept many of my books in-print for more than 25 years, because the values I teach are timeless."

P.K. is also an ordained minister and pastors his own small church, Joy Chapel, in Ashland, Oregon. He lives with his wife, Jeanne, in the mountains above Ashland and also at the beach, in Brookings, Oregon.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son understands that mommy will always love him., August 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How Do I Love You? (Hardcover)

My son, who is 4 yr old loves this book. He is realizing that it is wrong to have bad behaviors, but I will always love him. This book gives him the courage to admit and talk about what he has done wrong, knowing that I still love him, even though I may be mad. This is truly an amazing book.

This review is from: How Do I Love You? (Board book)

This book truly captures a parent's love for their child. This author has a gift for writing the most poignant things in books for children. The books are more for me than for my son! They give me a way to tell him how I feel about him...and keep his interest with pictures. This is a great book for any parent to read to their child...young and old.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Loving Story, June 13, 2001

This review is from: How Do I Love You? (Hardcover)

This story is a wonderful way to answer your child's question "Why do you love me?" I love to snuggle with my children and read this story to them. My children love to look at the vivid illustrations and laugh at the antics of the little boy. I love this story as much as I love "I'll Love You Forever" (not by Hallinan), but I can actually read this story outloud without crying.
