Hooked from like the first word 5/5 wow! 🩵 “tender hearted” Maya tells the truth when it would have been safer to stay quiet, in this inspiring and brave book. #angelou is one of the best storytellers we’ve had, in my opinion. Loved it! #bannedbooks #iknowwhythecagedbirdsings #booksky #bookreview

This book has been banned most likely because of Maya Angelou account of being raped at 8 years old. Not a page turner but worth a read. Some parts I found dry and slow reading. #IKnowWhyTheCagedBirdSings #MayaAngelou #memoir #racism #rape
