Who Belongs Here?
An American Story

Margy Burns Knight lives in Winthrop, Maine, with her husband and two children. She has taught English as a Second Language with the Peace Corps in Benin, Africa, in Switzerland, and in various locations in Maine, and has taught social studies and history.

Anne Sibley O'Brien spent most of her childhood in Korea as the daughter of medical missionaries. She now lives on Peaks Island, Maine with her husband and two children. Margy and Anne are both active in diversity education at schools and educational conferences across the country.

Since the 1992 publication of their first award-winning book (Talking Walls), Margy Burns Knight and Anne Sibley O'Brien have become respected names in multicultural publishing and diversity education. In 1997 they received the National Education Association's Author-Illustrator Human and Civil Rights Award for their work. Their books broaden our understanding of other cultures and teach empathy, compassion, and tolerance in a nonjudgmental way. They show children that each of us
has a story to tell and a heritage worth preserving.
