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.

A must for teachers of the very young!,
By A Customer
This review is from: My Teacher's My Friend (Paperback)
If you teach early childhood (includes grades pre-k through third) this is a book you will definitely want to add to your collection. From greeting the children each morning to walking them to the bus in the afternoon, this book thoughtfully outlines all the reasons a teacher is a child's friend. In addition to viewing the teacher as a friend, this book is great to read at the beginning of the school year because it highlights the fun activities found in most early childhood classrooms (i.e. star of the week, storytime, holiday fun, and more). P.K. Hallinan is a master at being able to identify with the young child, as well as being a gifted poet.

My Teacher's My Friend,

This review is from: My Teacher's My Friend (Paperback)
This book is probably the best teacher gift that you could ever give. It really shows how important the relationship between teacher and child is. We can all remember a favorite teacher from when we were a child, that really impacted our lives in some way. This books shows that side of teachers to our children, so they can see that teachers do what they do, because they care about them, and it shows teachers how much their very special jobs are appreciated. It is a very heartwarming book, as are all of P.K Hallinans childrens books. He has a way of saying exactly the right things, to explain different life lessons to children, in a very sweet, fun, and easy to understand way. I highly recommend this book!
