Linda Sue Park

The very awesome Linda Sue Park was in the neighborhood for an event and I was thrilled to have her come to the island for lunch and a catch up. She lives in Rochester, New York, almost as far away as one can get from Vashon Island, Washington, so we do not see each other nearly often enough. With her in the photo is Laurie Thompson of the Society for Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, who kindly brought Linda out here. We writers sometimes lead very solitary lives, and it is very special when we can spend time with others experiencing the same joys and woes.
