Vermont College of Fine Arts (MFA, Writing for Children & Young Adults) - Breve biografia
- [excerpt from author's website]
I'm the author of over 30 books for children and teens. I write about the environment, history, social justice, and people who make a difference. My books have been honored with the Asian/Pacific American Library Association Award for Literature ( Picture Book), Amelia Bloomer Top Ten List, Junior Library Guild Selection, SCBWI Martha Weston Grant, Paterson Prize for Books for Young People (Picture Book), and more.
I have an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts. The college is on a hill in Montpelier, the state capital, where the temperature is way below zero in January. The only way to keep warm is to write faster.

Fantastic visuals, readers are made to feel as though they are truly visiting the state. Begins with several pages on New York City, then moving to Cooperstown, Erie Canal, and Niagara. Highlights the state as it is today, with some information about the history of notable locations. This is not a book for students interested in the history of New York, instead this is an excellent resource for students curious about the Big Apple. Includes glossary, map, fact list, additional resources (print and digital), index. Recommended for elementary libraries.… (altro)
