Sherry Garland's first book for young readers was a nonfiction work on Vietnam that grew out of interests she developed while working with the Vietnamese immigrant community in Texas. Her knowledge of and interest in Vietnamese culture and the Vietnamese-American experience is something she has drawn on again and again in the novels and picture books she has written since.
