Episode notes
Author Jane Kuo (In the Beautiful Country, Land of Broken Promises) discovers as a child Paterson's Newbery-winning classic around the same time that she learns English. She will explore in our interview the resources that both were and were NOT available to her as a young learner navigating a new language and culture, and we will journey together back to the playground in our effervescent conversation.
