We're ready to launch our discussion of the books of Jacqueline Woodson.
>From her first novel, "Last Summer with Maizon" (Delacorte Press, 1990)
to her most recent, "After Tupac and D Foster " (Putnam, 2008), Jacqueline Woodson has been writing stirring stories that get inside the hearts and minds of both her characters and her readers. Her fiction and picture books explore family bonds and racial realities with exquisite grace and honesty. During the first part of June, our focus turns to her many books for children and teens.
Which of her books has resonated with you or with the children and teens in your lives?
