Rainbow in the Cloud: The Wit and Wisdom of Maya Angelou

2016Maya Angelou

4.9/5

"Rainbow in the Cloud: The Wisdom and Spirit of Maya Angelou" is the most meaningful and heartfelt book I've read so far this year. Broken up into various chapters from "Childhood and Parenthood" to "Womanhood" the black and white photos included, along with Angelou's quotes and poems, gave me a total experience in the presence of a great writer. Some poems such as "I was born to work up to my grave But I was not born To be a slave", stayed with me long after I read it. Through the years I've looked to Angelou for guidance, since she accomplished so much despite racial and gender obstacles, and by reading this book I was able to continue that journey with her even though she's no longer with us.
