전기 및 작가의 여정

Jacqueline Woodson, born in Columbus, Ohio, in 1963, spent part of her childhood in Greenville, South Carolina, before moving to Brooklyn at seven. A slow reader who nevertheless loved language, she has often marked two early turning points: a fifth-grade teacher who praised her writing, and the dawning sense that books rarely reflected the Black families and neighborhoods she knew. After graduating from Adelphi University, she worked with homeless and runaway children and wrote material for reading tests, experiences that strengthened her commitment to literature that recognized young people’s lives.
