 Remember Us

by  Jacqueline Woodson

Penguin Random House


    This is listed as a middle grade book but I think anyone over the age of 10 or so will love it. As she does in her adult novels, Woodson brings a real care for language and an immense belief in memory to the story of Sage growing up in a beloved neighborhood that is burning down. She manages an optimistic look at changes in ourselves and our world, what we remember and forget about everything around us.


AND it won the Walter Dean Myers Award 2024!  Yay!
