There will be times when you walk into a room
and no one there is quite like you . . .
It might be how you look or the way you talk, where you’re from; maybe it’s what you eat or what your hair is like. Feeling like an outsider can be scary at first, but the day you begin to share your stories might just be the day others find the courage to share theirs too.
A lyrical story about celebrating differences, from award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming, Jacqueline Woodson.
Jacqueline Woodson is one of the US’s most acclaimed contemporary authors for young people. She first came to attention with her multi-award-winning book Brown Girl Dreaming, a memoir in blank verse of her childhood and family life moving between the American South and New York. She was the Young People’s Poet Laureate from 2015 to 2017 and the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature for 2018-19. She was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 2020.
