Last night Philip and I went to 12th-century Korea, care of the amazing Seattle Children’s Theater‘s production of A Single Shard. It was an extra special treat to sit next to the books’ author, Linda Sue Park, and watch her face as she watched the play. I know from experience the awe you feel at seeing your characters and your words live on the stage. Too bad you can’t all get to Seattle to see the play—I would have given you lunch—but you can read the Newbery winning book, the tale of an orphaned boy who achieves his dreams through friendship, persistence, and courage.

I would have loved to have been there – have your books been adapted here?
Yes, The Midwife’s Apprentice was done in 1999 or so. It was a terrific production, with a Purr the cat puppet.
