More books by Jacqueline Woodson

I've already said how much I love this author. The novel Locomotion is another reason why. This book is written in verse, the voice of the eleven-year-old Lonnie is strong and his character is endearing. This book was a National Book Award finalist in 2003.

Feathers, once again, seals this author as one of the great contemporary children's writers of my generation. This book was a Newbery Honor book in 2008.

Show Way is one of my favorite picture books and it happens to be written by one of my favorite authors. Woodson received a Newbery Honor medal for this book in 2006.
