Memoir

Brown Girl Dreaming

By Jacqueline Woodson

About this book

Jacqueline Woodson remembers childhood in South Carolina and New York in poems that move among family stories, neighborhoods, and the early stirrings of her writing life. The short pieces leave room for sounds and details a child might notice before understanding their history. Together they show a young person learning how to put experience into words.
