View our feature on Jacqueline Woodson's Feathers.

â€œHope is the thing with feathersâ€ starts the poem Frannie is reading in school. Frannie hasnâ€™t thought much about hope. There are so many other things to think about. Each day, her friend Samantha seems a bit more â€œholy.â€ There is a new boy in class everyone is calling the Jesus Boy. And although the new boy looks like a white kid, he says heâ€™s not white. Who is he?
During a winter full of surprises, good and bad, Frannie starts seeing a lot of things in a new lightâ€”her brother Seanâ€™s deafness, her motherâ€™s fear, the class bullyâ€™s anger, her best friendâ€™s faith and her own desire for â€œthe thing with feathers.â€
Jacqueline Woodson once again takes readers on a journey into a young girlâ€™s heart and reveals the pain and the joy of learning to look beneath the surface.
