Little People, Big Dreams: Maya Angelou: My First Maya Angelou

The book has beautiful visual for young readers to explore on each page.
The words are simple but my child can understand the message that it wants to across.

This book is a very age appropriate biography for young children to understand and to gain knowledge about the great Maya Angelou. The illustrations were very colorful and I think that they are a good depiction for children. The illustrations are accurate to the plot and correspond with the text. The characters in the illustrations represent a variety individuals in various cultures. No negative stereotypes were represented, in fact, there was great diversity within the illustrations.

This is an excellent book to give a brief overview of a successful female writer and civil activist to interest a child. The illustrations of Maya's life are really fun and it gives a good summary without going into too much detail. It is a great way to introduce Maya's life too a child and short enough to keep them interested.
