《青瓷碎片》是2002年紐伯瑞金獎作品

樹耳是一名孤兒，靠撿食或編草鞋、草器皿維生。物質條件雖然不足，卻從不怨天尤人。樹耳一有空暇便到陶匠明師傅家的院子裡偷看他做陶。一次他不慎打破了明師傅的一個作品，因而自願做工償還，由於他謙虛、懂事和負責的作態度，很得師母的疼愛，常常暗中支助他食物，讓他和鶴人得以飽餐。明師傅也終於打破「父職子承」的陶藝界慣例，收他為徒。他替年老的明師傅送陶瓶到康津給朝廷的官員鑑賞，中途遇到盜匪，險些喪命，他仍靠著一片破瓷片，替明師傅爭取到官方的終生委任榮耀。他帶回好消息的當時，鶴人因事故喪生，他頓失相依的人，心中很悲痛，明師母和明師傅則適時伸出援手，幫他取名韓璧，收他為義子。

In this Newbery Medal-winning book set in 12th century Korea, Tree-ear, a 13-year-old orphan, lives under a bridge in Ch’ulp’o, a potters' village famed for delicate celadon ware. He has become fascinated with the potter’s craft; he wants nothing more than to watch master potter Min at work, and he dreams of making a pot of his own someday. When Min takes Tree-ear on as his helper, Tree-ear is elated — until he finds obstacles in his path: the backbreaking labor of digging and hauling clay, Min’s irascible temper, and his own ignorance. But Tree-ear is determined to prove himself — even if it means taking a long, solitary journey on foot to present Min’s work in the hope of a royal commission . . . even if it means arriving at the royal court with nothing to show but a single celadon shard.
