Brown Girl Dreaming

by Jacqueline Woodson

Jacqueline Woodson grew up in the 1960s and 70s, caught between South Carolina and New York, between who she was and who she was becoming. This Newbery Honor verse memoir is one of the most beautiful accounts of identity, family, and finding your voice in children's literature.
