Biography Karen Cushman has no trouble coming up with ideas for books, and no trouble sharing them with her husband. But one day, as she started to tell him about a new idea she had, he handed her paper and pencil and told her this time he wanted her to write it down. What she wrote was the outline for her first book Catherine, Called Birdy (Clarion, 1994), a Newbery Honor Award-winner. Karen calls herself a "late bloomer." Growing up in a working-class family in Chicago, she never put much thought into becoming a writer. Though she wrote poetry and plays as a child, Karen didn't begin writing professionally for young adults until she was fifty. Karen had always been interested in history. Her research into medieval England and its culture led to both Catherine, Called Birdy, and The Midwife's Apprentice (Clarion 1995), her second book and winner of the prestigious Newbery Award in 1996. Karen says, "I grew tired of hearing about kings, princesses, generals, presidents. I wanted to know what life was like for ordinary young people in other times." In her book The Ballad of Lucy Whipple Both Catherine, Called Birdy

LEARNING ABOUT KAREN CUSHMAN Compiled by: Tom Ruddy and Laurie Ferrone with Kay E. Vandergrift in the Young Adult Literature God's Thumbs, It's Karen Cushman! Winner of the 1996 Newbery Medal for Outstanding Children's Literature for her book The Midwife's Apprentice and honored by the Newbery Committee in 1995 for her first book, Catherine, Called Birdy, Karen Cushman has shown herself to be an outstanding author of fiction for young people. Two of her books are set in the 13th and 14th century England and provide fascinating looks at the very different lives of two young teenage girls of the time. The third, is set during the gold rush period in United States history. BIOGRAPHY Karen Cushman was born in Chicago, Illinois. As a child, she learned about the public library very early. She would go alphabetically down the shelves and try to read every book. In an interview with Alexis O'Neil, she tells of an interest she had at twelve years old in the development of anesthetics. She went through many "big medical books" to find out all about it. Books were always a big part of her life, according to Cushman. "Everything I know I've learned from books. I once set out to learn how to be a ballerina from a book. I mean, to me it was the way. You don't take a class-you get a library book! So, I'd stand in the driveway with my book and practice." From: Alexis O'Neil, pp. 42-43.

LEARNING ABOUT KAREN CUSHMAN Written by Sonia Berlin Grade 8 John Jay Middle School, Cross River, New York Lucretia Pannozzo, Teacher BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Karen Cushman is a new author who writes historical fiction for young adults. Her first book was published in 1994. Her work is fascinating, if you like to read about the Middle Ages. There are several important events, or milestones, in her life. Karen Cushman was born on October 4, 1941 in Chicago, Illinois. Her parents are Arthur and Loretta Lipski. On September 6, 1969, she married her husband Philip Cushman, who is a professor. She has a daughter named Leah. Karen Cushman currently lives in Oakland, California, which is not too far from her editor. (Hedblad, 89: 43) As she grew up, she became very creative. She would pretend to travel around the world as she rode around on her brother's scooter. When she got a little older, she would get "wild passions" about a certain subject and read all there was about that topic. At one point she was determined to teach ballet to her friends, so they would stand next to a car as Karen read to them what they had to do. (Hedblad, 89: 44) Later, she became involved in the Middle Ages, and so came her first two books. Karen Cushman enjoyed learning about the Middle Ages, but when she read summaries for programs about medieval history she was turned off because of the focus on great events, or people, or movements. (Hazel, June 1996: 1700) She liked to learn about how ordinary people lived, not great kings or queens. Karen remembers that she used to have charts of kings and queens on the wall in her room. ("Cushman" AOL) She tried to get a grant to do research on the Middle Ages once, but it did not work. ("Cushman" AOL)
