Simply put, Allida believes that when artists draw from their most intense enthusiasms, kids get great books.In the follow-up to It Happened One Summer, Tessa Bailey delivers another deliciously fun rom-com about a former player who accidentally falls for his best friend while trying to help her land a different man. The result has been books that consistently earn both critical acclaim and commercial success, and, most importantly, are fiercely adored by countless young readers.Allida builds on that model by supporting creators from marginalized communities whose work defies expectations. Her protagonists often share her Korean American ethnicity-but not always, and her focus has been to write as well as she can on subjects about which she cares deeply. Over a 20-year-plus career, she has written picture books and novels contemporary and historical stories realism and fantasy poetry and prose.
