Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson
5.0

Oh how I loved this book! It was so beautiful, lyrical, heartbreaking at times, and joyful at others. It is amazing how much I could visualize and understand her childhood. I felt like I could smell the southern air during her summers in South Carolina and feel her pain when she struggled at school.
I hope this one sweeps all the awards. It deserves it!
