Feathers is a glimpse into the life of Frannie an eleven and a half year old girl in 1971. Feathers is a story of hope.
The story is short, but definitely not incomplete. Jacquline Woodson paints beautiful pictures of the world and time in which Frannie lives. At times the story gets a little tense, but the overwhelming message of hope perseveres.
I would definitely recommend the book. It has depth and character that sometimes is lacking in children's literature.
