I loved listening to this in Woodson's own voice.
This is a beautiful memoir of childhood, of belonging, of family, and of stories. The power of the novel in verse is vibrant and visceral.
It's about the importance of listening, of representation in literature, of finding your brilliance, and of telling your stories.
I love how Woodson's family stories are so central to her own. I love how a sense of place and the things you're told about the place you live, and your place in the world, are so clearly linked to self worth and belief in yourself.
I love the world through Woodson's lens.
