About this product

Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson is a memoir written in verse that recounts the author's childhood experiences growing up as an African American in South Carolina and New York during the 1960s and 1970s. The book explores themes of identity, race, and self-discovery through vivid, emotionally resonant poetry. It reflects on life amid the lingering effects of Jim Crow laws and the evolving Civil Rights movement. Written with lyrical clarity, the narrative captures both personal struggles and moments of joy, particularly her journey to finding her voice through storytelling despite early challenges with reading. The work includes seven additional poems, one of which shares the title of the book. Published in 2016 by Penguin Young Readers Group, it is intended for readers aged 10 to 14.
