Marguerite and Bailey are living with Momma in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings because their parents' marriage has fallen apart and they have been sent to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas for stability and care. Momma provides a loving and nurturing environment for them during a difficult time in their lives.
In "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," Momma, Marguerite (Maya), and Bailey navigate the complexities of their lives in the racially segregated South. Momma embodies resilience and strength, providing a stable home for the children amidst hardship. Marguerite and Bailey, however, struggle with their identities and the challenges of growing up in a world filled with racism and familial issues. Their paths reflect the broader themes of survival, identity, and the quest for belonging.
Vivian Baxter Johnson, or 'Mother Dear', is Maya and Bailey's mother.
