A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. Illustrated by Betty Smith
A coming-of-age tale about a resourceful young girl growing up in an early 20th-century Brooklyn tenement, who, amid poverty, family tensions, and the losses that shape her, finds refuge in books and learning; the resilience of her spirit and the persistent tree that sprouts through the city grit become enduring symbols of hope, aspiration, and the drive to rise above difficult circumstances.
