   Kniha radostná i bolestná, tajomná a nezabudnuteľná ako samotné detstvo.Kniha Viem, prečo vtáčik v klietke spieva zachytáva túžby osamelých detí, brutálnosť bigotnosti a zázrak slov, ktoré môžu napraviť svet.„Nikto ťa nebude nútiť rozprávať – asi by to ani nikto nedokázal. No daj na moje slová: jazyk je spôsob, ktorým ľudia komunikujú so svojimi blížnymi, a jedine jazyk nás odlišuje od nižších živočíchov.“ Bola to pre mňa úplne nová myšlienka a potrebovala som čas, aby som si ju poobracala v hlave.„Tvoja stará mama hovorí, že veľa čítaš. Pri každej príležitosti. To je dobre, ale nestačí to. Slová znamenajú viac ako to, čo sa z nich dostáva na papier. Len ľudský hlas im vie vštepiť odtienky hlbšieho významu.“

5. All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes

   • Maya Angelou

   In 1962 the poet, musician, and performer Maya Angelou claimed another piece of her identity by moving to Ghana, joining a community of "Revolutionist Returnees" inspired by the promise of pan-Africanism. All God's Children Need Walking Shoes is her lyrical and acutely perceptive exploration of what it means to be an African American on the mother continent, where color no longer matters but where American-ness keeps asserting itself in ways both puzzling and heartbreaking. As it builds on the personal narrative of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Gather Together in My Name, this book confirms Maya Angelou’s stature as one of the most gifted autobiographers of our time.

   'In the first decade of the twentiety century, it was not a good time to be born black, or woman, in America.'

Anyone who's read the classic, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, knows Maya Angelou was raised by her paternal grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. In Mom & Me & Mom, Angelou details what brought her mother to send her away and unearths the well of emotions Angelou experienced long afterward as a result.
