A Birthday Book Giveaway: Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson
Chances are, you know about Watch. Connect. Read.-er and Picasso of Twitter John Schumacher. Chances are, you’re better off for knowing him. I know I am.
Well, today is his birthday and it seems to me the best way to celebrate is by giving away a book. As luck would have it, John shares his date of birth with one his favorites of 2014 – Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson. It arrives today, and I’m giving away a copy in honor of John.
