And Our Author for Author Studies Month is...

PATRICIA POLACCO!

Yes, the big news is that Michigan native Patricia Polacco will be our author for November. She is one of my all-time favorite children's books authors, for a variety of reasons. Many of her books are autobiographical in nature, and she never shies away from tough social issues. Racism, learning disabilities, bullying, homelessness, and fears are all handled in a gentle, accessible way.

If you would like to learn more about Patricia Polacco, please take the time to watch this video interview.

Patricia is a very knowledgeable person and I am sure she will have a lot of stuff to share with the children. Great post.
