- Came from a family of incredible storytellers. - A lot of books from her childhood inspired her writing and illustrating like: Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit, The Tall Mother Goose, Grim’s Fairytales. -Her artistic hero is Norman Rockwell.

Polacco is dyslexic, disnumeric, and disgraphic. -Her struggle trying to read was a horrible battle. -She also got teased by a young boy who shook her world and made her feel extremely unsafe. -Pollaco was helped by a teacher Mr. Falker who she dedicated the book "Thank you Mr. Falker." This is my favorite of all her books, it's an amazing story.

-Patricia uses real life stories to tell children -Incredibly influence by her relationship with grandparents. -She appears as a child in almost every one of her books. -The books use multicultural situations as well as multigenerational settings. -Books are mixed with racism problems, multiculturalism and the idea of good and bad.

-Now Polacco is at her home in Union City. “Now that I have moved back to Union City I am intending to open my house and community and invite people to come there to take part in writing seminars, story telling festivals, literature conferences and various events that celebrate children's literature."

“I hope that by reading these stories and doing the activities your students will recognize personal connections with family that will help them create new memories and traditions."
