I usually don't enjoy memoirs or books wrote in verse, but this was a nice read. Woodson does a great job at explaining what is was like as a child growing up during the Civil Rights movement in very little words.

This was really good! I really liked learning about her history because she grew up in a very important time. I also really liked getting to know her family. This did take me a while to get into with the poetry, but after like 50 to 100 pages it was easy.
