When I was about seven or eight years old, my mother brought me “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me” by Angelou, a poem book for children that used amusing pictures and catchy short, three line poems to complement the picture.
This book among others, helped me become the person I am today, the reason I find strength in reading and feel empowered to live a purposeful life, not be frighten by it.
