Sarah Park Dahen

Sarah Park Dahlen is an author and scholar. As a child, she was a voracious reader but didn’t see Korean Americans in books until she got to college. When she learned that Linda Sue Park had won the John Newbery Medal, and An Na had won the Printz Medal, their books inspired her to become a professor so she could research Asian American children’s books and work with librarians, authors, illustrators, and other people who care about children and books! Dr. Sarah now also writes for children. She is represented by Tricia Toney Lawrence of the Erin Murphy Literary Agency.
