Profile

Linda Sue Park

Children’s Author

Linda Sue Park brings Korean history and culture vividly to life through her richly imagined stories for young readers. She creates unforgettable characters that cross centuries and continents, yet still feel fresh and relevant – like the 12th century orphan, Tree Ear, from A Single Shard, her Newbery-winning novel. Prairie Lotus was recognized as the 2021 Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature honor book. We also love her lively, clever sijo poems from Tap Dancing on the Roof.
