Author Bio
Jacqueline Woodson
Though she started her working life at the tender age of two as an Ebony magazine model for Alaga syrup, Jacqueline Woodson's first love was always writing. Growing up in North Carolina and Brooklyn, Woodson worked as a drama therapist for teens in need, before taking up writing full-time. She's the author of over 20 books for children of all ages, from picture books to young adult titles, including SHOW WAY and FEATHERS.
Praise
"Moving, thought-provoking, and brilliantly executed, this is the rare sequel that lives up to the promise of its predecessor."
01/01/2009
"As in the first book, Lonnie's honesty makes readers believe in him and his writing; that his yearning for peace...comes across so subtly yet so powerfully is a testament to Woodson's strength as a writer."
