{"product_id":"brown-girl-dreaming-9780606393102","title":"Brown Girl Dreaming","description":"Jacqueline Woodson's National Book Award and Newbery Honor winner, now available in paperback with 6 all new poems. \u003cbr\u003eRaised in South Carolina and New York, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. In vivid poems, she shares what it was like to grow up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s, living with the remnants of Jim Crow and her growing awareness of the Civil Rights movement. Touching and powerful, each poem is both accessible and emotionally charged, each line a glimpse into a child s soul as she searches for her place in the world. Woodson s eloquent poetry also reflects the joy of finding her voice through writing stories, despite the fact that she struggled with reading as a child. Her love of stories inspired her and stayed with her, creating the first sparks of the gifted writer she was to become. \u003cbr\u003ePraise for Jacqueline Woodson: \u003cbr\u003eMs. Woodson writes with a sure understanding of the thoughts of young people, offering a poetic, eloquent narrative that is not simply a story . . . but a mature exploration of grown-up issues and self-discovery. \"The New York Times Book Review\"\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Turtleback Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780606393102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.30w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e168140 \/ Brown Girl Dreaming\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.3 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jacqueline Woodson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43204952621237,"sku":"9780606393102","price":26.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4ad98b51-85fa-4691-8eca-830a1a566159.jpg?v=1698126952","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/brown-girl-dreaming-9780606393102","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
