He toikupu, he kaiwhakatutu hoki a Dr Maya Angelou-ko ana kupu tana rakau, ko te kaikiri, ko te kuare me te ahikauri ana tino hoariri. Ko te tino rongonui pea o ana tuhinga, ko I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), he pukapuka haukiri i korerotia ra tona ano whanaketanga, tae atu ki te pangia ona e te kaikiri, e te tukino, me tana whai ki te whakatinana i tana mana motuhake. E hia ke nei nga tohu i whakawhiwhia ai ki a Angelou i te wa i a ia, tae atu ki te Presidential Medal of Freedom i te tau 2010, me te BET Honors Award for Literary Arts i te tau 2012. He rite tonu tana tuhi korero mo te kaikiri, mo te tohe, mo te whai ora, mo nga wheako hoki o te wahine me te kirimangu, ma roto i tona reo ahurei, i ona whakaaro atamai, me tana tohungatanga ki te tuitui i te whakatuma me te whakatoi, i te aroha me te riri. No te tau 1928 whanau mai ai te manu whati mahanga nei, a, no te tau 2014 rere atu ai ki tua o te arai.

Dr Jean Annan’s '7 Dimensions: Children’s Emotional Well-being' reflects the multiple perspectives she has encountered on children’s develop¬ment through her broad experience with young people. She has worked as an educational psychologist, university lecturer, researcher, teacher, leader and systems facilitator in educational settings. In recent times, Dr Annan has supported school staff to integrate positive psychological practices into their everyday school programmes. This facilitation has focused on the integration of pro-active, nurturing practices designed for all children as well as the establishment of additional support for those young people who are in most urgent need. '7 Dimensions: Children’s Emotional Well-being' builds on Dr Annan’s diverse publica¬tions in professional journals and books, the underlying theme of which has been the notion that if complex situations are rendered meaningful, they are easier to manage and positively redirect.
