An Evening with Jacqueline Woodson
6 min readSep 17, 2018
Despite being an avid reader, sometimes I miss an author who everyone seems to love but whom I’ve never read. Until a year ago, Jacqueline Woodson was that author for me. But then I read Brown Girl Dreaming and I knew she wasn’t one to sleep on. She’s currently on book tour for her newest books, a middle-grade novel called Harbor Me and a picture book called The Day You Begin and I was lucky enough that she stopped in my city!
