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.

I listened to the audiobook, so it was narrated by Jacqueline Woodson. She had a lot of passion for writing and how it shapes her outlook despite her possibly being dyslexic. I could feel the love she had for her brother and the how worried she was.

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.
