Jacqueline Woodson allows readers into her personal life as she details for them what it was like to grow up during the time of the Civil Rights Movement. Through the use of powerful and emotional poetry, Woodson describes living through the last years of the Jim Crow laws as well as the many changes her and her brothers went through while moving from city to city. Woodson was not a strong reader as a young girl, but she found a love for words and writing, which led to her writing her first book of haiku poems. This moving book would be a great read for students in middle school, especially for girls who are looking for ways of expressing themselves. I would recommend this book to anyone who is trying to find out what they want to contribute to this world.Tuesday, March 29, 2016
