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.

Woodson’s eloquent poetry also reflects the joy of finding her voice through writing stories, despite the fact that she struggled with reading as a child. Her love of stories inspired her and stayed with her, creating the first sparks of the gifted writer she was to become.Includes 7 additional poems, including "Brown Girl Dreaming."100% AuthenticBrand new; unreadHand Signed by Jacqueline Woodson on the title pageTrade PaperbackPrinted in the United StatesComes from a smoke-free and pet-free homeThank you for looking!
