It's been a long and snowy winter for Frannie and her classmates, and studying poetry can make it seem endless. "Hope is the thing with feathers ..." That's how one poem begins, but Frannie is not really sure what to make of it until a boy as white and quiet as the falling snow steps into her world. After a winter like this one, nothing will ever be the same again . . . Jacqueline Woodson once again takes readers on a journey into a young girl's heart and reveals the pain and the joy of learning to look beneath the surface.
