Honestly, never have I ever read a book that gave me these type of feels before. Inspiration motivation and just like a calm and soothing happiness. Jacqueline Woodson is an amazing writer and I can't wait to read more of her in the future.

Jacqueline Woodson's memoir in verse is targeted at a middle grade audience however, it probably isn't something that my middle grade reader would pick up on his own. I listened to the audio book myself today as I was straightening the house and doing laundry and it was great. The author read it herself, which is as it should be with poetry.

Woodson tells of her childhood split between South Caroline and NYC with her 3 siblings...and of her discovery of her love of writing.

This book counts towards the Book Riot Read Harder 2020 Challenge Task #8: an audio book of poetry

Absolutely gorgeous writing. I listened to this but I would like to read it next time and enjoy every sentence written in it.

Stunning. Absolutely lovely memoir in verse. Each poem was a memory perfectly captured through Woodson’s child eyes. Would be an incredible addition for classroom libraries and book groups. {Book 2 - #pandemicreading}
