I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya
Angelou
This 1969 autobiography captures the longing of lonely
children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make
the world right.
The audiobook read by Maya Angelou is phenomenal! While parts
of her story are painful to hear, her words and voice are powerful. -
