"Brown Girl Dreaming" by Jacqueline Woodson

Brown Girl Dreaming is a book that is found in the juvenile section here at the East Hills library. This book is very different in terms of the way that it was written and set up. The book is divided into four different parts and each part are written in poems. The whole point of the making of this book is that it is a memoir of the authors life as she grew up in the 1960's and the 1970's. Growing up all in the midst of the Jim Crow laws. This book is different, exciting, emotional, and happy all at the same time.
