I have no idea who that is, but I'd bet many Americans can relate to it! Looking forward to seeing the answer.

Thanks, Jama.
Congratulations jama. You sure answered quickly on that one. This author is new to me.
I haven't read any of her books in awhile, but she was one of the first Asian American writers I read when I first started writing for children. There were so few then, more now . . .
Wow - i didn't realize she was teaching at Frankford Friends! Neat!
Can you give us some clue?
Deped,
This has been answered. She is Yoshiko Uchida. After a quiz is answered, I update the post which you can see above.
Are you reading only partial post through a reader?
