4.5/5*

This was a beautifully told memoir in verse. Jacqueline Woodson discusses what it was like to grow up in both the North and the South during the 60s and 70s and how being black influenced her experience. This book has ignited my interest for more narratives told through poetry.

I listened to the audiobook along with reading the physical copy and I really enjoyed hearing the way the author read her poetry while simultaneously seeing the way it was written - poetry is as much about the words on the page as how they’re written.

I wanted to read this for National Poetry Month but I was only able to start the book on the 30th of April and finish it today.

The book would be a great book for Intermediate Readers
It is a book about Jaqueline Woodson and the many experiences she has growing up in the South.
This would be a good book to use to grow perspective and to provide an example of a way to explain life stories through poetry. It could also be paired with a History unit on Civil Rights to provide a personal experience.

This book could work great for upper elementary or middle school. The word load is not too big but there are a few heavier topics such as the loss of family. This book is a set of poems moving through the life of Jacqueline Woodson as she grows up with an untraditional family, moves around the country, and faces loss but also personal growth. I could see this book being used well in a poetry unit to show that poetry is more than a few lines, but together can tell a greater story.
