'The Story of Maya Angelou' by Tiffany Obeng offers a compelling biography of renowned writer and activist Maya Angelou, which is suitable for young readers. With simple language and engaging storytelling, the book provides an inspiring introduction to Angelou's life and legacy, making it a valuable resource for students interested in learning about influential figures in history.

This biography is great for young readers. It does a good job covering difficult topics for young readers. It is a bit long for kids, but in chunks it would be really good.

Love, love this book!!! Maya Angelou was one of the most influential African-Americans of all time. Her story is very inspirational & perfect for young readers. Overall, I like the concept for the book. It covers Angelou's story & is beautifully illustrated. The author ends the story with a challenge quiz. I highly recommend this one!!

I like to know about famous personalities from the perspective of young children's content, because helps us to know the general story in a clear and easy ways, and this collections of books are some of the best projects that We have in the literary industry nowadays. Maya Angelou is a great north american name as a poetry and also as an activist from the Black people cause and I enjoyed getting to knnow more about her from this. Well done!

A wonderful biography for young readers. This book not only teaches about the story of a greatest woman of all time, but also the political issues that was mentioned along her timeline. Language was simply expressed according to the readers comprehensive level, and the illustration was beautifully presented.
A must have book in the classroom library !

This is a great biography for young students to access and learn about an important person in Missouri history. I liked that there are bolded words and a glossary in the back for more difficult words that can be used in discussions. I will be adding this to my classroom collection for sure!

As a non American I admit I didn’t know much about Maya Angelou, expect that she was a poet. Boy she was so much more than that! What a life she had, and what a brave woman she was!

I’d recommend this biography to any young readers wanting to learn about this impressive woman. The text is easy to understand and her childhood trauma is written as « she was hurt » so it leaves it to you to dive more into what happened to her with your child if you want.
The illustrations are also gorgeous! Definitely recommend!

This is a great look at Maya Angelou's life. I liked how it has facts throughout and asks questions for the reader to answer. I liked the illustrations too.
I adore Maya Angelou and I learned a few things that I didn't know reading this.
I think this is a good book for anyone wanting to learn about Angelou. It would be a good book for discussion and/or if a student is doing a report about someone.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

This book is a pitch-perfect biography of Ms. Angelou for grades 3-5. I actually very much enjoyed it so it might be a good choice for a quick read for 6th grade as well.
This book impressed me on so many levels. The writing is engaging and easily digestible. The illustrations lend themselves nicely to the text and overall arc of the story and I love how the author presented all aspects of Ms. Angelou's life in an age-appropriate and sensitive manner.
This book is a winner and I'll be adding it to my library's collection. Many thanks to @netgalley and @callistokids for the ARC
