2014 National Book Award Winner, Young People's Literature

"Brown Girl Dream" by Jacqueline Woodson is an intimate journey of victory, sorrow, and discovery, using lyrics that combine the complexity and simplicity of Symphony with exciting memories. A national struggle for ideals, sincere depiction of the family's power, and a sharp social commentary about young writer's exquisite bloom make gifts to those who read this memoir.

Woodson, who grew up in South Carolina and New York, always felt halfway through the house. In a lively poem, she shared the feeling that she grew up to be an African-American in the 1960s and 1970s and lived with the rest of Jim Crow's life and her consciousness of civil rights movement . Each poem has an accessible, emotional, sensual and powerful style, and each poem can see her in the soul of a child looking for the world. Woodson's endless verse reflects the pleasure of finding her voice by writing a story, even if she was still trying to read from her childhood. Her love for the story inspired her, she was with her and created her first spark to become a genius writer.

Jacqueline Woodson won the Margaret A. Edwards Award, a lifelong achievement for young people, through Tupac & D Foster, Feathers, Show Way. Three Newberry Honor Awards, and two finalists' movements and a vocal award for books across the country. Other awards include the Collecta Scott King Award from the Miracle Boys and the Los Angeles Times Book Award. Her latest book is her novel "Oracle under the Moon" and her picture books "Every Goodness" and "This is the rope". She lives in Brooklyn, New York with her family.

Neutze said the winners of the Children's Book Awards are also good sources of information. In addition to the historical awards such as Caldecott and Newbery, the National Book Awards has many associations such as the Young People's Literature Award and the National Science Association of Science Teachers published in specific content areas. However, not all children with high language ability want to read. This happens when the content they read at school is lower than their ability and they lose interest. Perhaps they are doing other more interesting activities to compete for their attention. Kathy Thurlow, CTY project manager, says:
