Book Description:
Here is a book as joyous and painful, and as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou s first memoir, published in 1969 is a modern American classic beloved worldwide.

Sent by their mother to their devout, self sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local powhitetrash. When she journeys at eight to her mother s side in St. Louis, she is attacked by a man many times her age. Years later, in San Francisco, she learns about love for herself and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. The kindness of others, Maya s own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors ( I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare ) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned.

Poetic and powerful now in a beautiful keepsake edition I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds as long as people read.
