Publisher’s Summary
Jacqueline Woodson, one of today’s finest writers, tells the moving story of her childhood in mesmerizing verse.
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 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.

A beautifully composed memoir
I loved the relatable familial stories as well as appreciated understanding more from growing up in changing times. It’s poetic and beautiful.

Enjoyable, easy to listen to
I really enjoyed this, after waiting a long time to start it. It is short, and I finished it in two days. The author's voice is clear and she is easy to relate to, even beyond differences.

Beautiful, Lyrical Voice and Vivid Stories
I loved listening to the writer narrate her own beautiful, lyrical stories of her childhood as a "brown girl dreaming." This was my first book by this prolific, award-winning author, and I look forward to reading many more of her books.

A wonderful, beautiful listen that brought me to tears...
Whether you are old or young, white or brown, boy or girl, Jacqueline Woodson's words will hypnotize and haunt you. The stories of growing up black in the north and south, bridging lifetimes in Ohio, South Carolina, and New York are told through poetry in small but powerful pieces. You won't regret taking this journey with such an amazing writer in her own voice.
