26 Sep / To Swim Across the World by Frances and Ginger Park [in AsianWeek]

To Swim Across the WorldA remarkable, gracefully written work based on the true story of the authors’ parents’ early lives: their mother, the privileged daughter of a prominent minister in North Korea, and their father, the poor son of a rural South Korean family.

Review: “New and Notable APA Books,” AsianWeek, September 26, 2002

Tidbit: Frances and Ginger Park were both fabulous guests for the Smithsonian’s Korean American Centennial Commemoration‘s fall program, “Children’s Books,” on September 13, 2003.

Readers: Young Adult, Adult
