Publisher's Synopsis
Illustrated by Giselle Potter. In this first kids' book by Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morisson, adults determine the boundaries of personal freedom for three feisty kids by confining them to a world inside a box filled with toys and treats - all the stuff they think kids need to be happy. But these clever kids want the freedom to be themselves, and even inside a box they find their own ways to be free. This rollicking tale by a master storyteller, is an unforgettable celebration of the irrepressible joy of childhood. Ages 8 and up.
