Description
Told in lyrical verse, this powerful coming-of-age memoir follows a young Black girl navigating identity, belonging, and family across multiple cities and decades. Moving between South Carolina, New York, and other locations, the narrator grapples with questions of race, religion, and what it means to find home in a country that doesn't always welcome her. Jacqueline Woodson's poetic prose captures the beauty and complexity of childhood, exploring themes of family bonds, cultural heritage, and self-discovery with remarkable tenderness and authenticity. This Newbery Honor Book and National Book Award finalist resonates with readers of all ages, offering an intimate portrait of growing up Black in America and the transformative power of storytelling and imagination.
