National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson brings readers a powerful story that delves deeply into life’s burning questions about time and memory and what we take with us into the future.

It seems like Sage’s whole world is on fire the summer before she starts seventh grade. As house after house burns down, her Bushwick neighborhood gets referred to as “The Matchbox” in the local newspaper. And while Sage prefers to spend her time shooting hoops with the guys, she’s also still trying to figure out her place inside the circle of girls she’s known since childhood. A group that each day, feels further and further away from her. But it’s also the summer of Freddy, a new kid who truly gets Sage. Together, they reckon with the pain of missing the things that get left behind as time moves on, savor what’s good in the present, and buoy each other up in the face of destruction. And when the future comes, it is Sage’s memories of the past that show her the way forward. Remember Us speaks to the power of both letting go . . . and holding on.

As someone who grew up in NYC in the 70s and 80s, and whose family also moved me from my community to a brick house in Queens, I soaked in Jacqueline Woodsons telling of the experience through the view of this "Sage".

Powerful story of community through a child's view

I think I say this out loud each time I finish reading or listening to one of her books: Jaqueline Woodson is a gift. She has a beautiful way of putting into words emotions felt universally as we make our way through our lives: love, loss, connection, lonliness, guilt, fear, joy, sorrow - all of it. And she reminds us that we need to dwell in these emotions for a time but that we are resilient and we will be able to move beyond them.

Every young adult and every adult who knows one will grow in understanding from reading her books.
