Niña Morena Sueña / Brown Girl Dreaming - by Jacqueline Woodson (Paperback)

This book is a powerful and moving collection of poems that explore the experience of growing up between two places and not fully belonging to either.

Through vivid imagery and emotional language, Woodson captures the essence of being a young black girl in the 1960s and 1970s, navigating the residual effects of Jim Crow laws and the civil rights movement.

Despite facing challenges with reading as a child, Woodson's love for stories inspired her to become a talented writer, and this book is the result of that passion.

With its rich language and poignant themes, this book is a celebration of identity, creativity, and resilience.
