Jacqueline Woodson

I'm the author of a whole lot of books including Each Kindness, If You Come Softly, Visiting Day, The Other Side, Beneath A Meth Moon, Miracles' Boys, After Tupac & D Foster, Locomotion -- and some others. I live in Brooklyn, can find a hundred things to do instead of writing, have a partner, a daughter, a son, a dog and a cat.
