(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Tonya Engel. Foreword by Colin Johnson. In propulsive free verse and vibrant illustrations, Hegedus and Engel present the life and legacy of Angelou (1928–2014). She survived childhood instability, anguish, and abuse to thrive and to triumph, becoming a performer, dancer, journalist, activist, poet, mother, and humanitarian. Warm, swirling acrylic and oil paintings illustrate the various moods of the story. Photographs, an author's note, and websites of sexual assault organizations are appended. Timeline. Bib.
