With a bookplate signed by Newbery Honor author Carole Boston Weatherford. First edition. 2021 Newbery Honor Book! Henry Brown wrote that long before he came to be known as Box, he "entered the world a slave."

But Henry Brown found hope — and help —in the form of the Underground Railroad. And escaped enclosed in a box!
