Linda Sue Park is the author of A Single Shard, which was awarded the prestigious Newbery Medal by the American Library Association in 2002, for the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. She has written both picture books and novels for young people, including the Jane Addams Peace Prize honor book, When My Name Was Keoko, and the Chicago Tribune Young Adult Literature award title, Project Mulberry. Her most recent books are Tap Dancing on the Roof, a collection of poetry, and Keeping Score, a baseball story set during the time of the Korean War. The daughter of immigrant parents, Ms. Park draws on her Korean ancestry for much of her work. A childhood love of the public library has led her to consider herself a reader first and a writer second. She lives with her family in western New York.
