A mesmerising story about a young Black girl growing up in America, finding a home and discovering her voice – a multi-award winning New York Times bestseller and President Obama’s ‘O’ Book Club pick.

Brown Girl Dreaming is the unforgettable story of Jacqueline Woodson’s childhood, sharing what it was like to grow up as an African-American in the wake of the Civil Rights movement, and discovering the first sparks of an incredible, lifelong gift for writing. It’s packed with wonderful reflections on family and on place, in a way that will appeal to listeners from 11 to adult.

Emotionally charged and touching, each line tells the tale of one girl’s search to find her voice, her identity and her place in the world.

This book has been a bestseller in the US for almost a decade, winning every accolade and prize including the prestigious Newbery Honor Award, and is now made available to readers in the UK for the first time.
