La jeune Miriya se retrouve toute seule le jour de son anniversaire... Ses parents l'auraient-ils oubliée ? Par chance, c'est le moment qu'a choisi Marie, un chaton blanc magique, pour apparaître et l'emmener ni une ni deux dans le Paris de 1910 afin de lui apprendre l'art de la magie ! Accompagnées de Léon et Blacky, les deux petites magiciennes, toujours à la pointe de la mode, vont vivre des aventures fabuleuses au rythme de sortilèges malicieux et de savoureuses pâtisseries !

In this first of five volumes of autobiography, poet Maya Angelou recounts a youth filled with disappointment, frustration, tragedy, and finally hard-won independence. Sent at a young age to live with her grandmother in Arkansas, Angelou learned a great deal from this exceptional woman and the tightly knit black community there. These very lessons carried her throughout the hardships she endured later in life, including a tragic occurrence while visiting her mother in St. Louis and her formative years spent in California--where an unwanted pregnancy changed her life forever. Marvelously told, with Angelou's "gift for language and observation," this "remarkable autobiography by an equally remarkable black woman from Arkansas captures, indelibly, a world of which most Americans are shamefully ignorant."
