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.

Touching,

This review is from: We're Very Good Friends, My Mother and I (Paperback)
The book, while written for children, will grab mothers by the heartstrings. Every day activities mothers do with their children are approached with new perspective: how mother and child can and do bond doing things that are normally taken for granted! Struggling, newly single mothers will appreciate the support. Happily married, devoted mothers will appreciate the acknowledgement of their efforts. What mothers do Does Make a Difference! Enjoy and appreciate - and feel appreciated!

This review is from: We're Very Good Friends, My Mother and I (Paperback)
I was so looking forward to getting this book to replace the one lost in a flood we experienced. It was so important to me, as I read it my soon frequently when he was growing up. I was thrilled when it arrived, but very sad that it actually looked like it experienced a flood too. There were water stains all through out. Still, I was happy to read through it again.
