I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is an autobiography about Pulitzer-Prize winner Maya Angelou's childhood development and upbringing. It starts when she was very young and goes until she is a teenager. The reader gets a more personal look at Angelou's development, and it provides context for her poetry. I recommend this book. Angelou is known for her powerful voice in literature, and this book is definitely reminiscent of that. It is interesting to read a novel by her instead of poetry which she is known for. You would like this book if you like… nonfiction and autobiographies.
