Biographical / Historical
Siobhán Parkinson was born November 23, 1954, in Dublin, Ireland. She received her B.A. in English and German at Trinity College Dublin in 1976, and her Ph.D. for English literature in 1981. Parkinson is considered one of the most popular authors of teen fiction in her native Ireland. She began her writing career creating books for younger children as the result of a family tragedy and the need to explain the concept of death to her young son, Mathew. The result was the poignant All Shining in the Spring: The Story of a Baby Who Died, about a young boy's attempt to deal with the death of his baby brother.
