Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed this short story about three young brothers learning to navigate the world and their new family life following the death of their mother. #AuthorAMonth #BookspinBingo

For Lafayette and his brothers, the challenges of growing up in New York City are compounded by the facts that they've lost their parents and it's up to eldest brother Ty'ree to support the boys, and middle brother Charlie has just returned home from a correctional facility.... So good

I've spent my day reading Woodson books I have checked out from the library since my husband and nephew are gone for the day. 😁

This is another beautifully written book about three brothers who have to learn to trust each other and take care of each other after the loss of their mom. Loved this one! 💚💜💛

After Brown Girl Dreaming, I really wanted more from Woodson so I found this little gem. It‘s a rather short story that spans only 2 days but once again, she will really make you feel the relationships of the characters and take your heart on a rollercoaster. Both of these I listened to on audio and I highly recommend that as well.

I just love Jacqueline Woodson.

Nothing left to do
When you know that you've been taken
Nothing left to do
When you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
When you've got to go on waiting
Waiting for the miracle to come🎶

Lafayette and his brothers have lost their parents. They need a miracle...

Snowy Saturday morning read ❤️

Three brothers - the eldest, a teenager himself, is the legal guardian of the other two. A rare YA novel, are interracial. It explores the relationships between the brothers and how they deal with the loss of their parents and their relationship to each other when the middle brother returns from juvenile detention. I was really moved by the story. #diversebooks #lrcchallenge #authormyage #mmd #backlistnewfavoriteauthor

A little sorbet and a little YA. Loved "brown girl dreaming," and "another Brooklyn," so decided to check out her earlier works. I also think this one was written when Woodson was my age - so will work for #lrc #marchintoreading #eatandread
