This Bird, although caged, sings beautifully and brilliantly!

Beautiful work; makes a great gift

"I bought this copy as a gift for a dear friend’s birthday. It’s a beautiful printing, even as a paperback. Ms. Angelou’s voice comes through strong and clear, even after all the years since her passing."

— Bodikat (5/5)

We are stronger because of our obstacles

"Maya Angelou is an incredible story teller. In this early autobiagraphy she addresses so many issues that I think we are still working through fully accepting. I loved her share of her raw most inner thoughts and that were relatable even if my life has been different from hers. Despite all her challenges she always found a way through and are strong for it. This was a nice reminder about being resilient and relentless and also about honouring yourself."

— Jessfraser (5/5)

Must read this biography

"So well written, so inspiring, a direct account of racism and segregation in the US"
