關於作者：
Eleanor Coerr née Page May 29, 1922 – November 22, 2010
was a Canadian-born American writer of children''s books, including
Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes.
She was born in Kamsack, Saskatchewan, Canada, and raised in
Saskatoon. As a child, she liked to think up and read new stories.
Through her best friend in high school, who was born to Japanese
immigrants, Coerr developed an interest in calligraphy, Japanese
food, and origami. She was exposed to Japanese scenery and told her
that she wished to visit Japan one day, a request which Coerr
fulfilled during the writing of Sadako and the Thousand Paper
Cranes.
She attended the University of Saskatchewan, later transferring
to the Kadel Airbrush School. She earned a bachelor''s degree in
English from American University, and a master''s degree in library
science from the University of Maryland. After graduation, Coerr
worked as a newspaper reporter and editor of a children''s column.
She taught children''s literature at Monterey Peninsula College and
creative writing at Chapman College in California.
She was married to Wymberly De Renne Coerr 1913–1996 from 1965
until his death from Parkinson''s Disease in 1996. He was a career
diplomat, and she traveled with him to a number of countries,
including foreign posts in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines,
and Brazil. Coerr both wrote and illustrated her first book in
1945, although she did not begin to publish her work until the
1970s. Her later work included children''s books, philanthropy, and
giving lectures at American universities and overseas.After
Wymberly''s death, she became more reclusive and stayed at private
residences in Pebble Beach, California and Henderson, Nevada.
Coerr died on November 22, 2010 at the age of 88. Both she and
Wymberly were cremated.
