[Ladda ner] (Epub) Brown Girl Dreaming
By Jacqueline Woodson
Jacqueline Woodson, one of today's finest writers, tells the moving story of her
childhood in mesmerizing verse. ? A novel in verse. Raised in South Carolina
and New York, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. 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.
