Jawando instills her simple narrative with interesting realities of Maya Angelou\u2019s life as the former used her voice and her art to overcome prejudice and difficulty in her life. From working as a tram conductor to reciting her poetry at presidential inaugurations, Angelou came a long way and cut an impressive figure. The glossary for difficult words in the back makes for an extra bonus along with beautiful illustrations.
