This is a fabulous book about Maya Angelou. It gives you lots of information and is easy to read. I would recommend it to everyone.
I really liked this book. I liked the illustrations and the way the words were written around them. I found out lots and lots about Maya’s life and it made me want to find out a bit more about how things were in the olden days.
I think Maya was a great lady and she met lots of famous people.
I’m really glad I read this book. My mum has ‘I know why the caged bird sings’ and says I can read it when I’m a bit older.
I would recommend reading this book to everyone, even grown ups, because it’s good to find out about people and what went on in the past.... Read Full Review
