Un jour, tu déouvriras

Woodson, Jacqueline — Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Plusieurs raisons expliquent pourquoi certaines personnes se sentent différentes des autres. Peut-être est-ce â cause de leur apparence physique ou de leur faéon de parler, de leur nourriture ou de n'importe quel autre détail. Dans tous les cas, il n'est pas toujours facile de faire ses premiers pas dans un environnement l'on ne connaét personne, et pourtant, c'est bien nécessaire. Le texte percutant de Jacqueline Woodson et les somptueuses illustrations de Rafael López d?montrent avec brio que tout le monde se sent parfois étranger et qu'il faut du courage pour continuer son chemin malgré ce sentiment. Cet album prouve également que de bonnes choses peuvent arriver lorsque l'on ose enfin s'ouvrir aux autres! [BTLF]

The Day You Begin

Woodson, Jacqueline — Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Jacqueline Woodson is the 2018-2019 National Ambassador for Young People's Literature
A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson has created a poignant, yet heartening audiobook about finding courage to connect, even when you feel scared and alone.
There will be times when you walk into a room
and no one there is quite like you.
There are many reasons to feel different. Maybe it's how you look or talk, or where you're from; maybe it's what you eat, or something just as random. It's not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody really knows you yet, but somehow you do it.
Jacqueline Woodson's lyrical prose and warm narration reminds us that we all feel like outsiders sometimes — and how brave it is that we go forth anyway. And that sometimes, when we reach out and begin to share our stories, others will be happy to meet us halfway.
(This book is also available in Spanish, as El Día En Que Descubres Quién Eres!)

Brown Girl Dreaming

Woodson, Jacqueline — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT

Jacqueline Woodson, one of today's finest writers, tells the moving story of her childhood in mesmerizing verse.
Raised in South Carolina and New York, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. In vivid poems, she shares what it was like to grow up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s, living with the remnants of Jim Crow and her growing awareness of the Civil Rights movement. Touching and powerful, each poem is both accessible and emotionally charged, each line a glimpse into a child’s soul as she searches for her place in the world. Woodson’s eloquent poetry also reflects the joy of finding her voice through writing stories, despite the fact that she struggled with reading as a child. Her love of stories inspired her and stayed with her, creating the first sparks of the gifted writer she was to become.
Praise for Jacqueline Woodson:
Ms. Woodson writes with a sure understanding of the thoughts of young people, offering a poetic, eloquent narrative that is not simply a story . . . but a mature exploration of grown-up issues and self-discovery.”—The New York Times Book Review
