A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

June 27, 2014Joan Suwalsky100 Thimbles in a Box, Korean handicrafts

The very first time I went to Korea in 1985, in connection with my son’s adoption, I spent a week there and had a chance to explore.  Never having been there before, it was all absolutely new and fascinating to me.  My most vivid memory of that trip, other than the time spent at Eastern…

Lucy and Ethel Write a Book

Announcing Our Next Book!

October 16, 2018Debbi Kent

We’re very excited to introduce our next book! What we learned about Korea’s symbolic animals while researching 100 Thimbles in a Box inspired us to feature them in a series of children’s stories we are calling the Ginkgo Tree Tales. Illustrated by the gifted Korean artist, Lee, Woong Ki, these are not retellings of traditional folktales,…
