These poems are about life – pride, love, struggles, and success – facing all of it and uplifting ourselves to come out on top of all our difficulties. The poems are mainly about uplifting yourself regardless of your situation.

I was drawn to this book of poems by the title of the book. She writes in a simple matter of fact way about everyday things that we can relate to. I really enjoyed her poems Phenomenal Woman, and Still I Rise; they are very strong and inspiring poems.

I believe this book is best suited for older children probably during heritage months. ( )
