Today must be your lucky day! Remember two weeks ago listening to Patricia Polacco's book Pink and Say? Well, today you get to hear Patricia Polacco reading her own book about World War II. Her story begins after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It is set in the Philippines. And, yes, it's really her voice that you'll hear -- kind of like an author visit, telling a true story of a soldier nicknamed Tucky Jo, the youngest recruit in the Pacific during World War II, and a little Filipino girl whom he calls Little Heart.
