Title: All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes
Author: Maya Angelou
Summary: This is a beautifully written story. Maya writes about her own life; however, she herself says that it's not all true. She writes, in this book, about her time in Africa. She came to the realization that she, and the other African Americans, did not belong in Africa--that America was and is their home. She does a wonderful job with the story and really shows many of the struggles of an African American and all others seeking for a place to belong.
Recommendation: I would recommend this book to many ages. It shows the
struggles of finding a place to call home. It is a wonderfully told story of a Mom learning to let her son grow up and learning to find herself in the midst of a culture that she wants so badly to fit into.
