About

Winner of the Norman A. Sugarman Children’s Biography Award, the Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Medal and a Coretta Scott King Book Award Illustrator Honor Book

Before Gwendolyn Brooks became the first Black person to win the Pulitzer Prize, she was a little girl who dared to dream. Gwendolyn grew up surrounded by fine poetry. From an early age, she memorized the poems her father read to her and soon began to pen her own. Gwendolyn found inspiration all around her: in the colorful clouds overhead; in the people in her neighborhood; in loss, loneliness and love.

This picture book biography shares Gwendolyn's journey as she creates a beloved body of word and shows readers how her dream became her exquisite future.
