I don't believe being gay is something you can change, no more than you can change the color of your hair or your eyes. Well, I dye my hair, so maybe that's not the best example. But your eyes!
From Patricia Polacco
Maybe one of you can enlighten me, but I just don't understand why it is so hard to be kind to one another?
I wasn't a very good student in elementary school and had a hard time with reading and writing.
My family always encouraged my drawing ability. Kids in school who teased me about my reading would get out of their seats and stand behind my desk as I worked and go, 'Wow, you can really draw.' Later, I earned a degree in Fine Art and got a Ph.D. in Art History.
I don't know if my work is a concerted effort to make kids sad! But life and death go hand in hand. It's our condition as human beings.
My stories are fundamentally about the love of family.
