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.

This review is from: We're Very Good Friends, My Brother and I (Paperback)

When my three sons were young, we got this book. The art is very entertaining, funny and cute. The story perfectly describes the antics of two active, young brothers, "we act creepy a lot." My sons loved it so much that when they grew up and moved out of the house, I had to get them each their own copy. They then signed each other's copy of the book. It turned out to be a touching momento of their childhood -- and a symbol of how much they care for each other. Now, the book is my little granddaughter's favorite, too. Although she's only two, she points to the pictures and says her uncles' names. At work, I give this book to friends and co-workers who are having a second son. They've all loved it, too!

We read this book to our boys, 5 and 2 years old. They loved it and it described perfectly what brothers do together, the love they share even when they are not talking to each other. It's a keeper and one all parents will enjoy reading to their boys before bedtime.
