I had the pleasure of meeting Linda Sue Park earlier this year at the Reading the World conference in San Francisco. What a nice, down-to-earth woman she is! (Actually, not to belittle these traits, but I think all the children's book authors I have met have been very nice and down-to-earth. It's what makes this business so great.)
Anyway, the August issue of children's literature monthly The Edge of the Forest features an interview with the award-winning author. You'll learn all about what Linda Sue Park is working on now, and her thoughts on being one of the few representatives of Korea in children's literature. I also learned that she has a blog!
