Each line a glimpse into a child's soul as she searches for her place in the world. Why you'll like it:. poetry, touching, family, friendship About the Author: Jacqueline Woodson was born in Columbus, Ohio on February 12, 1963. She received a B.A. in English from Adelphi University in 1985. Before becoming a full-time writer, she worked as a drama therapist for runaways and homeless children in New York City. Her books include The House You Pass on the Way, I Hadn't Meant to Tell You This, and Lena. She won the Coretta Scott King Award in 2001 for Miracle's Boys.

  • Identity of African American Characters in Newbery Medal and Newbery Honor Award Winning Books: a Critical Content Analysis of B
    IDENTITY OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CHARACTERS IN NEWBERY MEDAL AND NEWBERY HONOR AWARD WINNING BOOKS: A CRITICAL CONTENT ANALYSIS OF BOOKS FROM 1991 TO 2011 Tami Butler Morton, B.A., M.T. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2012 APPROVED: Janelle Mathis, Major Professor Elizabeth Figa, Minor Professor Carol Wickstrom, Committee Member Claudia Haag, Committee Member Nancy Nelson, Chair of the Department of Teacher Education and Administration Jerry Thomas, Dean of the College of Education Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Morton, Tami Butler. Identity of African American Characters in Newbery Medal And Newbery Honor Award Winning Books: A Critical Content Analysis of Books from 1991 to 2011. Doctor of Philosophy (Reading), December 2012, 119 pp., 14 tables, 3 illustrations, references, 80 titles. The purpose of this study was to conduct a critical content analysis of the African American characters found in Newbery Medal award winning books recognized between the years of 1991 and 2011. The John Newbery Medal is a highly regarded award in the United States for children’s literature and esteemed worldwide. Children’s and adolescents’ books receive this coveted award for the quality of their writing. Though these books are recognized for their quality writing, there is no guideline in the award criteria that evaluated the race and identity of the characters. Hence, there are two overarching research questions that guided this study. The first question asked: To what extent are the African American characters in each award winning book represented? Foci in answering this question were the frequency of African American characters and the development of their ethnic identities.

  • Jacqueline Woodson Is the Bestselling Author of More Than Two Dozen
    ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jacqueline Woodson is the bestselling author of more than two dozen award-winning books for young adults, middle graders and children, includ- ing the New York Times bestselling memoir Brown Girl Dreaming, which won the 2014 National Book Award, the Coretta Scott King Award, a Newbery Honor Award, an NAACP Image Award, and the Sibert Honor Award. Woodson was recently named the Young People’s Poet Laureate by the Poetry Founda- tion. She lives with her family in Brooklyn, New York. PRAISE FOR ANOTHER BROOKLYN “Woodson’s unsparing story of a girl becoming a woman recalls some of the genre’s all-time greats: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Bluest Eye and especially, with its darkly poetic language, The House on Mango Street.” —Time “Woodson does for young black girls what short story master Alice Munroe does for poor rural ones: She im- bues their everyday lives with significance.” Elle— “In Jacqueline Woodson’s soaring choral poem of a novel…four young friends…navigate the perils of ado- lescence, mean streets, and haunted memory in 1970s Brooklyn, all while dreaming of escape.” —Vanity Fair Another Brooklyn - UK text.indd 1 12/12/2016 11:11:13 “Woodson writes lyrically about what it means to be a girl in America, and what it means to be black in Amer- ica. Each sentence is taut with potential energy, but the story never bursts into tragic flames; it stays strong and subtle throughout.” —Huffington Post “Another Brooklyn joins the tradition of studying female friendships and the families we create when our own isn’t enough, like that of Toni Morrison’s Sula, Tayari Jones’ Silver Sparrow and Zami: A New Spelling of My Name by Audre Lorde.

Dr. Rachel Bell, a scientist studying the 100-Year Miracle and the tiny sea creatures that create it, knows a secret about the phenomenon that inspired the regions myths and folklore: the rare green water may contain a power that could save Rachel's own life (and change the world).
