The biography of Maya Angelou told through poems.
I enjoyed reading about Maya Angelou in a poetry format. Each poem tells of a different event in Maya's life. It is well written and enjoyable to read. I would recommend it for upper elementary through high school age readers. The watercolor and collage illustrations are beautiful. The colors of each illustration emphasis the story being told on the page. There is a timeline included at the end.
