PATRICIA POLACCO promotes In Our Mothers' House.

Ms. Polacco has written and illustrated such notable books as Pink and Say, Thank You, Mr. Falker and Chicken Sunday. Her latest work is In Our Mother's House. Marmee, Meema, and the kids are just like any other family on the block. In their beautiful house, they cook dinner together, they laugh together, and they dance together. But some of the other families don’t accept them. They say they are different. How can a family have two moms and no dad? But Marmee and Meema’s house is full of love. And they teach their children that different doesn’t mean wrong. And no matter how many moms or dads they have, they are everything a family is meant to be. (bookjones)… (more)
