I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

challenging emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

4.5

This book is a wonderful reflection of growing up Black in America. I felt Maya's hurt and confusion and pain in reading her story. She really captured childhood constricted joys and adolescent turmoil and grappling with the real world. Her view of the world gave me hope during a difficult time.
