Summary: Fascinating insights about Maya Angelou and Afro-Americans
Comment: In 1962, Maya Angelou went to Ghana with her 17-year son. "All God's Children Need Travelling Shoes" tells the story of her personal journey to understand herself as a black American. This book provides fascinating insights about Maya Angelou in her early years and about Afro-American culture in general. In rich language, she provides both historical snapshots and compelling stories about Ghana's gentle people, herself, and the diaspora that brought black people to America.

Summary: My favorite - but they're all favorites!
Comment: Thank you, Maya, for being there! I remember when I first saw Maya Angelou on some TV show - probably Oprah. I thought she was just too uppity for her own good - so full of herself. Then I read her books and found out why she acted that way: because she's FABULOUS and she KNOWS IT! This book in particular is so enlightening, so amusing, so full of surprising "takes" on the African scene. I whipped through it. Then I was hungry for every other book, including Ms. Angelou's poetry, and I just took it all in. As a writer she has inspired me to tell my own stories, freely, without inhibition, all the way. As a woman she has given me that extra little "oomph" of self esteem I didn't get from my own mother and the "feminine mystique" women who were my role models growing up. Ms. Angelou has worked at every kind of job, and she has valued herself in each and every one of them. She has never been "less" of a woman or a creative genius because she was doing this thing or that. They say that Georgia O'Keefe was the "mother of all contemporary women artists" I say that Maya Angelou is the "mother of all contemporary women poets and writers." Phenomenal woman.

Summary: Maya Angelou's All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes
Comment: With great detail, Maya Angelou describes the journeys of her life with her son. She shares her emotions with such strong words you feel like you are right there with her as she is telling her tale. From sorrow, to pity, to happiness, and all the way back through again, Maya Angelou tells a story of hope and dignity...how she survived life with a little faith in god and in family.
I recommend this to book to anyone who is in need of a little hope or needs to get in touch with their inner self. This book is touching and uplifting. Give it a try, I know you'll love it as much as me, if not more!
