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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA National Book Award Winner\u003cbr\u003eA Newbery Honor Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA Coretta Scott King Award Winner\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Praise for Jacqueline Woodson: \u003cbr\u003e Ms. Woodson writes with a sure understanding of the thoughts of young people, offering a poetic, eloquent narrative that is not simply a story . . . but a mature exploration of grown-up issues and self-discovery.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacqueline Woodson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0399252517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780399252518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Paulsen Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.75h x 5.89w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e168140 \/ Brown Girl Dreaming\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Newbery Medal - Honor Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Coretta Scott King Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert F.
