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." Put to work as a child and passed down from one generation to the next — as property – he lost his wife and children when they were sold away out of spite. But Henry Brown found hope — and help —in the form of the Underground Railroad. And escaped enclosed in a box!
