Poetry for Young People: Maya Angelou Hardcover – 1 Jan. 2013

What a joy this exquisite book is!! I bought it for my teenage son who is studying the masterpiece "Still I Rise" in school. He's not normally an emotional boy but he cried on the journey home in the car from school reading "Caged Bird" to me. The words touch the soul and as he said, you'd have to be a stone not to feel the words of the poem, as when you're a teen trying to fit in with your peers and you're at that awkward age in life & trying to figure out who you are, this poem put's it all in perspective no matter what struggles or mountains you face in life. The illustrations are a work of art in themselves. Food for the soul. Pure Perfection!! R. I. P. Maya Angelou ❤️

A great read. This book has helped my 10 year old son enjoy poetry and appreciate where Maya Angelou is coming from.

Great book of poems, the book is good quality with nice illustrations.

A fantastic book with a great introduction to Maya. All the poems you would expect with notes to explain them.

I purchased this for Christmas for my Daughter. I know that she will love this collection of poetry and the art works inside. I have written her a note, asking her to read and then re-read one per day...so that the real and the lovely sinks into her heart.
