Home Author Archive For Librarians Authors: Get Included Rose Kent Dear Reader: When I visit schools, "book talk" inevitably leads to "food talk". Kids perk up when I tell them that kimchi is a spicy Korean cabbage dish, and that calamari is made from squiggly squid. They laugh about how Joseph, my main character (who, like two of my children, is Korean & adopted) describes himself as an "ethnic sandwich". And then they share stories on how they feel "sandwiched"— by mixed ethnicity, divorce, friend conflicts, pressure to be superstars, etc. Food & story bring us together and give us plenty to talk about. In celebration of November, National Adoption Month, I'm offering autographed copies of KIMCHI & CALAMARI to lucky readers. Email me at www.RoseKent.com by Nov. 25th as to why you would be a "delicious" choice to win. I love to hear from readers. And good news: KIMCHI & CALAMARI arrives in paperback next March! Here's to happy reading and tasty eating, Rose Kent www.RoseKent.com Facebook www.Twitter.com/RozWrite ps Be sure to watch for my next book, Rocky Road (Knopf Publishers, June 2009). This sweet story about achieving against the odds is set in an old-fashioned ice cream shop!
