MAYA’S SONG written by Renee Watson and illustrated by Bryan Collier

 Renee Watson’s stellar poetry and Bryan Collier’s exquisite illustrations capture poignant moments of Maya Angelou’s life in MAYA’S SONG—her brother’s instant and through adoration, her parents’ marriage failure and the adoration she found with her grandmother Miss Annie, and the sexual abuse that ended her innocence and her words for five years before their power bloomed into the magic of her words that changed the world. This is a picture book biography that doesn’t shy away from hard truths, but finds balance in Collier’s soft monochromes and the beauty of Watson’s words.
