THE YELLOW BIRD SINGS - JENNIFER ROSNER TASCHEN...

National Jewish Book Award Finalist Rosner's exquisite  heart-rending debut novel is proof that
there's always going to be room for another story about World War II....This is an absolutely
beautiful and necessary novel  full of heartbreak but also hope  about the bond between mother
and daughter  and the sacrifices made for love. -The New York Times In Poland  as World War II
rages  a mother hides with her young daughter  a musical prodigy whose slightest sound may cost
them their lives. As Nazi soldiers round up the Jews in their town  Róza and her 5-year-old
daughter  Shira  flee  seeking shelter in a neighbor's barn. Hidden in the hayloft day and
night  Shira struggles to stay still and quiet  as music pulses through her and the farmyard
outside beckons. To soothe her daughter and pass the time  Róza tells her a story about a girl
in an enchanted garden: The girl is forbidden from making a sound  so the yellow bird sings. He
sings whatever the girl composes in her head: high-pitched trills of piccolo  low-throated
growls of contrabassoon. Music helps the flowers bloom. In this make-believe world  Róza can
shield Shira from the horrors that surround them. But the day comes when their haven is no
longer safe  and Róza must make an impossible choice: whether to keep Shira by her side or give
her the chance to survive apart. Inspired by the true stories of Jewish children hidden during
World War II  Jennifer Rosner's debut is a breathtaking novel about the unbreakable bond
between a mother and a daughter. Beautiful and riveting  The Yellow Bird Sings is a testament
to the triumph of hope-a whispered story  a bird's song-in even the darkest of times.
