*giggles* I love research, one finds all kinds of cool stuff...
An interview... http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/..._history/97782 Quote: | Nancy Farmer, the critically acclaimed children’s writer, won a Newberry Award for her book A Girl Named Disaster. (Recently, she won the National Book Award for a children’s book set on the U.S.-Mexico Border.) Farmer’s first experiences in Africa were working as an entomologist in a lab on Lake Cabora Bassa in Mozambique. When her contract ran out, she moved to Zimbabwe, where she met and married her husband. They lived in Zimbabwe for twenty years. | |
