Maya Angelou [Paperback] Lisbeth Kaiser

Great positive story of young black girl who grows up through adversity to become successful in her career . Story told without all of the sad details but sensitive hints at a hard life, which are constructive. Great to see a book that instill hope in children so young. Also speaks about racism but in a sensitive way. Great book, enjoyed by young girls. Girls were Very impressed by what happened when she grew up. Fantastic book for kids / parents library or foster parents library . Good story of hope & change

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  Im not sure if the book was supposed to be like this but the inside of the book is upside down.

A very good book but our copy came with the cover on back to front and upside down. It was for my daughter and not a gift for someone else so I couldn't be bothered sending it back for an exchange. Also, there is a line in the book saying that Maya was attacked by her mother's boyfriend and this led to her not speaking for 5 years. This may be a bit inappropriate for some ages so just some forwarning.

A lovely book. Accessible to a wide age range as are the others in the series. Not my 5 year old and 9 year old enjoy reading and having the stories read and they initiate a further interest in the subjects or there expertise. We have many titles

Excellent book... I bought this as a gift for my friends daughter but I love it that much, that i will buy one for my daughter too. The book is well written for children, and can be used as a confidence tool for young black girls...Amazing
