Feathers by Jacqueline Woodson


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.
