I don’t read much poetry but I really liked the poems in this! I liked that they weren’t all necessarily the same type of rhyme scheme and that they all told a story when read together.

Lovely! I highlighted a lot of great lines about childhood, heritage, and identity. It was an honor to hear Woodson tell about her life and experiences growing up.

Literally, put feelings I had in my childhood into words. If you have always wanted to be a writer since you were a kid or made up stories as a kid this will be really validating and welcoming for you.
