With just her third novel, she won the coveted Newbery Medal for the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. In this program (recorded in October 2005 at C. D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge, VA), moderator Maria Salvadore talks with Ms. Park about her Newbery-winning books A Single Shard, When my Name was Keoko, Seesaw Girl, The Kite Fighters, and Project Mulberry.
