The Little People, Big Dreams series from Frances Lincoln is a series telling the stories of well known women, and the dreams they had as children, showing that children can one day achieve their dreams, no matter what they might be. They cover the hardships these women faced, but keep the stories appropriate for the readership. Each story also includes a short biography with photographs of the women.
Maya Angelou's story covers the racism and sexism she experienced, her selective mutism after being attacked, and how through her love of words she found her voice again, leading her to believe she could be anything she wanted. It also covers her success in various roles, and how she became an activist and a writer, and came to inspire many.
