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. 1. I would recommend this book to higher level elementary or middle school. 2.This book goes through a young woman's life during Jim crow in the south as long as having to deal with family issues and I think that to a young student this could help them a lot through showing that this happens and help teach them how to live through that situation. 3.I would highly recommend this in my classroom because no matter what background you have you can relate in some way.

HTML:A New York Times Bestseller and National Book Award Winner Jacqueline Woodson, the acclaimed author of Red at the Bone, tells the moving story of her childhood in mesmerizing verse. Raised 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. A National Book Award Winner A Newbery Honor Book A Coretta Scott King Award Winner Praise for Jacqueline Woodson: Ms. 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 Revie No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

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.
