What is Life Doesn't Frighten Me about?

Maya Angelou’s poem meets Jean-Michel Basquiat’s bold, expressive artwork in this exploration of courage and fear. The speaker faces shadows, strange noises, panthers, dragons and other unsettling sights, yet insists that life will not frighten her. Through rhythmic language and vivid images, the book encourages children to name their fears and discover their own inner strength. Biographical notes about Angelou and Basquiat introduce readers to the poet and artist behind this striking collaboration.
