Autorenporträt

Tanya Lee Stone is best known for telling true stories often missing from our histories. A Sibert Medalist, she has written more than one hundred books, among them the award-winning Almost Astronauts: 13 Women Who Dared to Dream and Courage Has No Color: The True Story of the Triple Nickles, America's First Black Paratroopers. She first learned about the story at the heart of Peace Is a Chain Reaction while writing Courage Has No Color, but found that larger, complex interconnected stories emerged from her research. ?I needed to find a way to weave it all together for that legacy to be more widely felt,? she says. ?Developing a sense of all the people involved, through years of immersive research, slowly brought the story into focus.? Tanya Lee Stone is the program director of Champlain College's professional writing program and lives in Vermont.
