Young Adult | Non-Fiction Memoir | Multicultural
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.
