Overview / 简介: |
When the air gets heavy and dark clouds drift low over the fields of Grandma's farm, her frightened granddaughter hides under the bed. "This is Thunder Cake baking weather " calls Grandma, and a real Thunder Cake must reach the oven before the storm arrives. So the two hurry to gather ingredients from around the farm, trying to stay one step ahead of the approaching thunderstorm. Patricia Polacco's bright illustrations bring life to her childhood memory of how her grandma helped her overcome this universal childhood fear. |
About the Author / 作者介绍: |
Patricia Polacco was born in Lansing, Michigan in 1944. Her parents divorced when she was three but both parents were very much a part of her childhood. She spent the summers with her father in Williamston, Michigan and the rest of the year with her mother and grandparents on a farm. Both families spent a great deal of time sharing stories and memories with Patricia and her older brother, Richard. When she was seven, the children moved with her mother to Oakland, California where she still lives, but they continued to go every summer to Michigan.
She had great difficulty learning to read because of dyslexia, a condition about which very little was known at the time, but a seventh grade teacher discovered her problem and helped her with it. Once she could read, she read voraciously.
Patricia Polacco published her first book in 1987. She often plans out a story before she puts it down on paper and usually the words come before the illustrations. |
