Katie Smith Milway Katie Smith Milway, winner of the 2009 Massachusetts Best Book for Children Award and 2009 Children’s Africana Book Award, works to bring world issues to elementary and middle school children. Her books, One Hen: How One Small Loan Made a Big Difference set in rural Ghana; The Good Garden: How One Family Went from Hunger to Having Enough, set in the Honduran hillsides, and forthcoming Mimi’s Village, set in western Kenya, introduce young readers to global issues – microfinance, food security & basic health care – and how children can help.
