Happy Birthday, Patricia Polacco! May your day be filled with more joy than a boat ride with Lillian Two Blossom and sweeter memories than sharing Chicken Sunday dinners. Your stories have warmed hearts, inspired imaginations, and taught us all the beauty of kindness—plus, you've made quilts cooler than ever!From winning the Golden Kite Award to touching countless lives through "Thank You, Mr. Falker," your legacy is timeless. Today we celebrate you—the storyteller who turns everyday moments into magical adventures. Here's wishing you laughter brighter than your illustrations and cake tastier than Babushka's cooking! Keep shining brightly—happy birthday!
