June Palo Pens MRS. PECORA AND HER PURPLE HAT

"Mrs. Pecora And Her Purple Hat" is the first book in a series that celebrates life, family, and the memories that are created around the dinner table. The series takes Mrs. Pecora and her family through their journey of ordinary days which becomes an extraordinary life and story. The book was inspired by family, traditions, family stories and a drawing made by the author's granddaughter.
