Ginger and Frances Park grew up listening to stories of their mother’s childhood in North Korea. One of these stories was the inspiration for My Freedom Trip, a child’s journey across the 38th parallel just prior to the outbreak of the Korean War. My Freedom Trip is the winner of the 1999 International Reading Association Children’s Book Award.
Many of the picture books by Ginger and Frances Park celebrate Korean heritage and customs, including The Royal Bee and The Have a Good Day Café.
During the live broadcast, the authors talked about The Royal Bee and their grandfather, My Freedom Trip and their mother, and answer student questions. Viewers also take a video field trip to the authors' sweet shop, Chocolate Chocolate, in Washington, D.C.
