Description

Brown Girl Dreaming is a poignant and powerful collection of poems that explores the author's childhood in vivid detail.

Born in Ohio, but with stories of South Carolina running deep through her veins, Jacqueline Woodson shares her experiences growing up as an African American in the 1960s and 70s. Through her writing, she grapples with the remnants of Jim Crow and finds her voice amidst the Civil Rights movement.

This deeply personal and emotionally charged work is a beautiful portrayal of physical, emotional, and spiritual growth, offering a glimpse into a child's soul as they search for their place in the world through storytelling.
