Entre los 100 mejores libros juveniles de todos los tiempos de acuerdo con TIMES 2020Ganador del Premio Nacional del LibroGanador del Premio Coretta Scott KingNewbery Honor BookRobert F. Sibert Informational Honor Book   ¿Qué significa crecer en dos lugares y no pertenecer completamente a ninguno? Jacqueline Woodson creció entre Carolina del Sur y Nueva York y siempre se sintió a medias en ambos. Estos poemas, conmovedores y poderosos, lo reflejan; así como reflejan la experiencia de ser una niña afroamericana en las décadas de 1960 y 1970, de una infancia vivida entre los residuos de las leyes de Jim Crow, de su aprendizaje constante sobre el movimiento de derechos civiles. Cada verso es una mirada al alma de alguien que, desde muy pequeña, busca su lugar en el mundo. Tal vez lo encontró en su propia voz al escribir. La elocuente poesía de Woodson es también una celebración de la escritura pues, a pesar de que tuvo dificultades con la lectura cuando era niña, su amor por las historias inspiró las primeras chispas de la talentosa escritora que es hoy. Este libro es resultado de eso. Es el universo de una niña morena que, contra todo y contra todos, se atrevió a soñar.  ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONTIMES 2020 100 Best YA of All TimesJacqueline Woodson's National Book Award and Newbery Honor winner, now available in SpanishRaised in South Carolina and New York, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place.

Brown Girl Dreaming

Award-winning author Jacqueline Woodson shares her own story in vivid, powerful verse. Raised between South Carolina and New York, she never felt fully at home in either place. Through moving poems, she reflects on growing up African American in the 1960s and '70s, living amid the aftermath of Jim Crow, and coming of age during the civil rights movement. Though she struggled with reading as a child, her deep love of stories sparked the voice that would make her a celebrated writer. This memoir in verse is a heartfelt tribute to family, identity, and the courage to dream.
