Author Spotlight (Patricia McKissack)


“To me, reading is like breathing; both are essential to life.”—Patricia C. McKissack

Those words resonate with me very strongly. It’s like she wrote my words. I love her work.

Another thing, isn’t it funny, not ha!ha! funny, but ironic kinda’ funny, that I’ve had various books of this author for years and never made a connection with all of the books that she’s written and that I own. I mention this because I recently reviewed one of her books, The Honest-to-Goodness Truth and didn’t realize that I own a couple of her other books:

  • Mirandy & Brother Wind
  • Flossie & the Fox (A 2nd grade OCR story)

Here’s a link to an interview with her. Click here if you’d like to learn more.

Author:

I am a 53 year old empty nester, mother of four adult children, ages 22-34, and grandmother to two (River & Dakota) who's currently... figuring me out!
