Black Girl Dreaming. Poems About A Child's  Place In The World ,..Book By Jacqueline  Woodson.

The book is called Brown Girl Dreaming.  People usually women, use the word "Brown" in the place of Black.  I think this is unnecessary and potentially confusing. Brown I image is an attempt describe our skin color. But Blackness is about culture, nit skin color. It would be like white people calling themselves "Pink" people. 

Brown Girl Dreaming is a fantastically successful book.

Woodson's adult novel Another Brooklyn is coming out in Paperback on the 30th or May.  Amistad is a supporter of AALBC.com.
