[Spanish] - Niña morena sueña

"National Book Award Winner Coretta Scott King Award Winner Newbery Honor Book Robert F. Sibert Informational Honor Book Uno de los 100 mejores libros Young Adult de todos los tiempos según la revista TIME. ¿Qué significa crecer en dos lugares y no pertenecer completamente a ninguno? Jacqueline Woodson creció entre Carolina del Sur y Nueva York y siempre se sintió a medias en ambos. Estos poemas, conmovedores y poderosos, lo reflejan; así como reflejan la experiencia de ser una niña afroamericana en las décadas de 1960 y 1970, de una infancia vivida entre los residuos de las leyes de Jim Crow, de su aprendizaje constante sobre el movimiento de derechos civiles. Cada verso es una mirada al alma de alguien que, desde muy pequeña, busca su lugar en el mundo. Tal vez lo encontró en su propia voz al escribir. La elocuente poesía de Woodson es también una celebración de la escritura pues, a pesar de que tuvo dificultades con la lectura cuando era niña, su amor por las historias inspiró las primeras chispas de la talentosa escritora que es hoy. Este libro es resultado de eso. Es el universo de una niña morena que, contra todo y contra todos, se atrevió a soñar."

Miracle's Boys

"Nothing is like it used to be. If it were, Mama would still be alive. Papa wouldn't have died. And Charlie would still be the same old loving big brother to 13-year-old Lafayette, not a hostile stranger, just back from doing time at a correctional facility. Oldest brother, Ty'ree, would have gone to college, instead of having to work full-time to support the three of them. And Lafayette wouldn't be so full of questions, like why Mama had to die, why Charlie hates him so much now, and how they're all supposed to survive these times together when so much seems to be set against them. Jacqueline Woodson brings us the story of three remarkable young men-brothers who have only each other to rely on and must decide whether they'll work with that or let it tear them apart."

Jacqueline Woodson (Author), Dulé Hill (Narrator)

Feathers

"Frannie doesn't know what to make of the poem she's reading in school. She hasn’t thought much about hope. There are so many other things to think about. Each day, her friend Samantha seems a bit more “holy.” There is a new boy in class everyone is calling the Jesus Boy. And although the new boy looks like a white kid, he says he’s not white. Who is he? During a winter full of surprises, good and bad, Frannie starts seeing a lot of things in a new light - her brother Sean’s deafness, her mother’s fear, the class bully’s anger, her best friend’s faith and her own desire for “the thing with feathers.” Newbery Honor-winning author Jacqueline Woodson once again takes listeners on a journey into a young girl’s heart and reveals the pain and the joy of learning to look beneath the surface."
