Jacqueline Woodson is an American author of children’s books and young adult novels. Jacqueline grew up saying she’d be either a teacher, a lawyer or a hairdresser, but always knew that writing was what made her happiest. Her books tackle many issues such as interracial couples, teenage pregnancy and homosexuality. She likes to place both physical and psychological boundaries for her characters to conquer. Jacqueline lives with her family in Brooklyn, New York.

Jacqueline Woodson made her debut as a published novelist in 1990 with Last Summer with Maizon. She also published the picture book Martin Luther King, Jr. that same year. Below is a list of Jacqueline Woodson’s books in order of when they were originally released:
