Bird in a Box

In a small upstate New York town during the Great Depression, three children—Hibernia, Willie, and Otis—each seek hope and inspiration in their lives. Hibernia aspires to be a famous singer, Willie is healing from past trauma, and Otis finds solace in the voices from the radio that remind him of his family. United by their admiration for young boxing sensation Joe Louis, the trio embarks on an unforgettable journey of friendship and resilience, set against the rich backdrop of America’s golden age of radio, masterfully crafted by award-winning author Andrea Davis Pinkney.
