I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings - Penguin Readers - Level 6
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings recounts the trials and tribulations of Maya Angelou's life growing up as an impoverished black woman in the southern United States. Its story reveals the prejudice, poverty, and hardship suffered during that time, but also the importance of love, hope and dignity
This is the amazing true story of a real-life superhero who wore no cape and possessed no special powers-yet changed the world forever. It's a story about a man whose life reads as if it were torn from the pages of an action novel: Bullet holes through his clothing. Horses shot out from under him. Unimaginable hardship. Disease. Heroism. Spies and double-agents. And, of course, the unmistakable hand of Divine Providence that guided it all.
