		I liked the way Linda Sue Park was extremely descriptive, because it allowed me to see the characters, and feel the hardships of the Kim family.

	Amazon.com: A Single Shard: Books: Linda Sue Park (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Park convincingly conveys how a community of artists works (chopping wood for a communal kiln, cutting clay to be thrown, etc.) and effectively builds the relationships between characters through their actions (e.g., Tree Ear hides half his lunch each day for Crane-man, and Min's soft-hearted wife surreptitiously fills the bowl).
		Grade 5-8-Linda Sue Park's 2002 Newbery Award-winning story (Clarion, 2001) about Tree-ear, a 12th century Korean orphan who finds his future through his intuitive interest in the potter's trade, is nicely rendered by Graeme Malcolm.
		Linda Sue Park does a fabulous job of taking this traditional Korean story module as a catalyst for a well-developed tale of triumph of a boy who shouldn't have overcome the odds but did.

		In fact, my parents heard from a cousin who lives there, who called the day after and said: "Linda Sue is on the front page of the papers here!" I've been interviewed many times since then, and I'd say easily a third of the interviews have been from the Korean media.

	Names and Palimpsest in Linda Sue Park's 'When My Name Was Keoko'
		Linda Sue Park's When My Name Was Keoko (2002) is a deceptively simple tale of a family living in occupied Korea.
		Economically written, the story is told in alternating chapters from the perspective of the children of the Kim family, Sun-hee and her older brother Tae-yul.
		Later, when the Japanese confiscate precious rice and supplies from Korean civilians to aid the war effort, this clandestine patriotism is repeated by Tae-yul's crude carving of the Korean flag on the bottom of a bowl.

		Park's writing incorporates terms and techniques of ceramics: The potters dig and prepare clay, throw and mold pots, fire vessels in a wood-burning kiln.

		While restricted by the society in which they live, these two brothers find ways to brave the kite fighting competitions, be true to themselves and respect each other.
		Even in the aftermath of the charm and universal appeal of See Saw Girl, author Linda Sue Park's inspiring first book, I was unprepared for the overwhelming effect that The Kite Fighters would have on me.
		As carefully and painstakingly as Young-sup builds his exquisite kites, Park fashions a story aimed at nine-to-12-year-olds that is both beautiful and durable.
