Hwang Sun-mi is a children’s literature author with 20 years of experience. Her works, “The Bad Boy Stickers” and “The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly” made her the first living children’s books author to sell more than million copies. Children's book “The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly” is about a mother’s sacrificing love and a duckling’s coming-of-age. The story made not only children, but also adults about how to make their lives more meaningful.

Hwang started writing when she was 13 and has never stopped since then. If it weren’t for a family bankruptcy, she would have led a pretty much ordinary life, without moving from one place to another and being bullied at new schools in new towns. But all her hardship during her childhood and teenage years shaped her into a writer who could truly relate to the plights of life's underdogs and give them hope.
