Another Brooklyn

Jacqueline Woodson is the bestselling author of more than two dozen award-winning books for young adults, middle graders, and children, including 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 Foundation, and in 2018 she received the prestigious Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. She lives with her family in Brooklyn, New York.

‘Beautifully lyrical…a collage of experiences and reflections that intersect geographically, temporally and sexually…Woodson evokes a New York of the 70s seen through the prism of young black females who are least likely to be portrayed in literature or any other art form, at the centre of it.’
