About the Book: Brown Girl Dreaming
Jacqueline Woodsons National Book Award and Newbery Honor winner, now available
in paperback with 6 all new poems. Raised in South Carolina and New York,
Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. In vivid poems, she shares what
it was like to grow up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s, living
with the remnants of Jim Crow and her growing awareness of the Civil Rights
movement. Touching and powerful, each poem is both accessible and emotionally
charged, each line a glimpse into a child?s soul as she searches for her place
in the world. Woodson?s eloquent poetry
