Summary of Polacco
Synthesized Information
Most of her books are figurative language like in Thank you, Mr. Falker, Pink and Say, and in Christmas Tapestry.
Mood:
The three books that I choose all had something to do with love and hope. For example in Christmas Tapestry they didn't give up on using the tapestry for covering the hole in the wall, in Thank you, Mr. Falker, Mr. Falker never gave up on Trisha, and in Pink and Say, Pink and Say never gave up on hope for the war.
