Today, the world lost a literary genius, poetress, activist, actor, orator, director, actress, award-winning, inspirational force, Dr. Maya Angelou.
Her body of work includes plays, poetry and books and within them came numerous gems of wisdom so today, those who have never read Dr. Angelou, may be seeing a lot of her words today.
The reaction to her passing, at 86 in her North Carolina home, has caused many in social media to tweet, post and share some of her inspirational quotes embedded in digital posters.
Her words are also inspirational for parents and children. My favorite: “Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to making reading one of his deep and continuing needs is good for him.”
