Rise!: From Caged Bird to Poet of the People, Maya… by Bethany Hegedus

I need to read "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou. Seriously, she is an amazing woman. This picture book biography is an excellent entrance into her life.

Be the Change: A Grandfather Gandhi Story by Arun Gandhi

A really nice book. Unique and beautiful illustrations, and of course a message for any age.
