Mu?n Th? Van loves to read books of all shapes and sizes. She first began reading yellow-spined hardbacks about a certain girl detective before graduating to longer novels and then picture books (itâs true, she doesnât remember reading picture books as a young child). So few books reflected her formative experiences, though, that she desired to bring new and different stories into the world.
From her New York Times acclaimed debut, In a Village by the Sea, illustrated by April Chu, Mu?n's books have received many distinctions, including a Northern California Book Award, a Golden Kite Award, a New York Public Library Best Book, a Kirkus Reviews Best Book, a Junior Library Guild Selection, and an Irma Black Honor Award.
When she's not writing, Mu?n likes to roam the forests of California with her family. Visit her online at www.muonthivan.com.
