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.

Beware of Church Reference,
By A Customer
This review is from: My Mommy and I (Hardcover)
This book, like most PK Hallinan books, is really sweet but I was disappointed to find the church part of the rhyme and the God and heaven reference. This was not mentioned in any description of the book that I read prior to ordering it. As a Jewish mother I can't read to my daughter that "We like to dress up on Sundays to go to church"...that would be a bit confusing.

A Real Crowd Pleaser...,
By Winter Wonderland (Midwest, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Mommy and I (Hardcover)
This brightly illustrated book makes me happy to be a mother. The book is well-written in simple language with beautiful pictures. My 2-year-olds love the different activities that are highlighted in the book, since they pertain to their everyday life.

My Mommy and I,
By Krissy (Vashon, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Mommy and I (Hardcover)
This book, and the others in the series, are wonderful! They paint a great view of family relationships that little ones can relate to. The pictures are bright and fun to look at and the rhymes are darling. The author really picks up on a child's view of the world, with an encouraging portrayal of God's love displayed in our relationships. I highly recommend these books!
