TERRY Farish has been writing novels and nonfiction about refugees and immigrants for many years, informed by her early work for the Red Cross in Vietnam. She wrote THE GOOD BRAIDER, a novel that opens in Juba, South Sudan, after travel to nearby Kenya and years of collecting oral histories among southern Sudanese families in Portland, Maine. Farish speaks at schools, libraries, and colleges about Viola's - in The Good Braider - immigrant journey in a deeply complicated world, and about contemporary immigrant literature.
Farish's other books range from the adult novel IF THE TIGER to THE CAT WHO LIKED POTATO SOUP, winner of a Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books Blue Ribbon to being the project manager in the creation of a bilingual folktale, THE STORY OF A PUMPKIN, with refugees from Bhutan. Her picture book THE ALLEYWAY, coming out in 2015, is about a Dominican-American boy whose brother is deployed in the U.S. Army.
Farish lives in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
