Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson

emotional hopeful inspiring medium-paced

5.0

This book was phenomenal! I am still raving over how much I loved it! I listened to the audiobook read by Jacquline Woodson. The book is a non-fiction memoir about Jacquline Woodson growing up in Ohio, South Carolina, and New York in the 1960s and 70s. I thought it was so interesting to hear about the Civil Rights Movement from the perspective of a child. Not only the Civil Rights Movement but also post movement and all the things that were important and going on in the author's life at the time. The most interesting part of the book is that it's written in the style of poetry. Although it is written as a poem, it is a consecutive story. Overall, I loved this book and would definitely reread it!
