Patricia Polacco

She is one of my absolute favorites for kids. Even big kids. One look at her Facebook page makes you realize that she is just a heartwarming storyteller and wants to connect with other people.

She is a best-selling author and storyteller from Michigan. Many of her stories are from her own childhood. She is dyslexic and could not read until she was in her teens.

​She is one of few authors who illustrates her own books! You can write to her not only as an author, but also as an illustrator. 

A few books you may like...

  • Mr. Lincoln's Way
  • The Keeping Quilt
  • Thunder Cake
  • My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother
  • When Lightning Comes in a Jar
  • The Bee Tree
  • Chicken Sunday (this one's my favorite!)
  • The Lemonade Club
  • Mommies Say Shhh!
  • Christmas Tapestry
  • G is for Goat (Liliana's favorite)
  • Some Birthday!
  • Just Plain Fancy
  • Bun Bun Button

Patricia Polacco writes most of her books around a Level M in guided reading.
