Autorenporträt
"I'm passionate about literacy and using the arts to give people of all backgrounds a vision of their worth and potential." College media instructor Karl W. Beckstrand is the best-selling author/illustrator of more than thirty multicultural/multilingual titles (60 ebooks-reviews by Publisher's Weekly, Kirkus, The Horn Book, and School Library Journal). Raised in San Jose, California, he has lived abroad and earned a B.A. in journalism, an M.A. in international relations & conflict resolution, and a broadcast & film certificate. He's won multiple publishing awards, including an International Book Award for his Y.A. western novel, To Swallow the Earth. Beckstrand loves volleyball and singing (in rock bands or choirs). His Y.A. stories, ebook mysteries, immigrant biographies, self-help, Spanish/bilingual, and STEM books feature ethnic characters-and usually end with a twist.
