Maya Angelou Finds Her Voice
Inspired by a true story from Maya Angelou's childhood, this expertly researched and luminously illustrated picture book explores how a beloved mentor helped young Maya rediscover the poetry of self-expression and the power of her voice. Maya Angelou loves words. She whispers, "caterpillar green," just to paint the color in her mind. Her tongue played with "pandemonium" to enjoy its rhythm. She sings the Negro national anthem and recites the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar. Words whirl and stories spin in Maya's head and off her lips, helping her escape her troubled, segregated world and soothe her soul. Then, suddenly, eight-year-old Maya stops talking. She believes her words hurt somebody and now only deems them safe to share with her brother. Her family does what they can even as they get worried and frustrated, but it isn't until years later that someone opens Maya back up. Mrs. Bertha Flowers, one of the most important citizens of Stamps, Arkansas, invites Maya to her home and talks to her about language and communication and reads to her from Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities. Maya is transported by the power and singularity of Mrs. Flower's voice...and finally moved to inspire the world with her own.

Beast Mark
Does it not stand to reason, that if we invent anything that we alone have a direct connection to our invention? For example, computer programmers invent key codes to communicate with their software. The intent is to keep anyone else from being able to hack their system. Would Creator God have made mankind in his image and not built inside man a way to commune with him? No computer programmer would make a product he could not communicate with. But, as good as computer programmers are, sometimes their codes can be hacked by those wishing to take control away from the original inventor and manipulate or control the software illegally for their evil agenda. This is an example of what my research will reveal.
