I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings - Maya Angelou

Sinopsis

Sent by their mother to live with 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.” At eight years old and back at her mother’s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age—and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her 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.

Por qué lo elegimos

**ATENCIÓN: Esta copia está en inglés** Maya Angelou cuenta su infancia en el sur de Estados Unidos con una voz de poeta y de contadora de historias. No es un libro sobre ser víctima, sino sobre cómo una niña aprende a leer, a hablar y a hacerse un lugar donde no le dan ninguno. Leelo con cautela: habla de abuso sexual infantil y de racismo.
