About the Author

Anna Kim was born in Seoul, Korea, and immigrated to the US as a kid. A classically trained pianist with a B.A. in psychology from Wellesley College, she devoted herself to teaching music to young children. During those years of teaching, Anna discovered that drawing stories on yellow stickies worked wonders when kids needed a little pick-me-up. That’s when she decided to expand her canvas from stickies to picture books and to pursue her newfound purpose:"Through picture and word, I want to surprise, inspire, and delight children with fun and heartwarming stories. I want to plant seeds of love and kindness through living characters who jump off the page and touch the reader with genuine emotions. I want those characters to show kids of all sizes, shapes, and colors what it’s like to be courageous, resilient, and empathetic heroes. I want to share with readers the magic of friendship in transforming our beliefs, our hearts, and our lives forever.”"The deli featured in 'Danbi's Favorite Day' holds a special place in my heart—it was a deli called "Park Lane Deli" my parents ran in NYC. Nestled near City Hall, this hole-in-the-wall shop was part of my parents' journey from being teachers in Korea to embarking on a new adventure in their adoptive country. The problem was that my parents didn't know American food. My dad had never heard of a BLT, so you can imagine the rest. Eventually, my mom added Asian dishes to the otherwise typical "deli" menu of cold cuts and tuna melts, and these unique dishes became quite popular. The back entrance of the deli led to a narrow alley whose shadow was sometimes pierced by a ray of sunlight and made me feel like I was in a storybook. That alley has now found its way into "Danbi's Favorite Day," becoming a character all its own."
