I love my library card.: My Woodson Experience
http://salenabooks.blogspot.com/2010/11/my-woodson-experience.html

The one that I found most common was an interracial relationship in the majority of her books. And going off that idea, she frequently has characters that are multiracial. When her characters are multiracial, she does not keep this hidden.
