A mother hides with her five-year-old daughter, a musical prodigy whose slightest sound may cost them their lives. 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. When the daisies grow abundant, the bird weaves a garland for the girl to wear on her head like a princess--though no one can see. She must hide from everyone in the village: soldiers, the farmhouse boys, the neighbors too. The lady with squinty eyes and blocky shoes just dragged a boy down the street and returned, proud and straight-backed, cradling a sack of sugar like a baby. After the Jews in their town are rounded up, RoÌza and her daughter, Shira, spend day and night hidden in a farmer's barn. Shira struggles to stay still and quiet, as music pulses inside her. To pass the time, RoÌza tells Shira a story: There is a little girl who, with the help of her yellow bird, tends an enchanted garden. The garden must be kept completely silent--only the bird can sing the girl's musical compositions--and together the girl and her bird avert many threats. Thus RoÌza manages to soothe Shira and shield her from the horrors around them. But then the day comes when their haven is no longer safe and RoÌza must face an impossible choice: whether to keep Shira by her side, or give her the chance to survive apart. The Yellow Bird Sings is a beautiful, heartrending novel about the unbreakable bond between a mother and a daughter, and the triumph of hope in even the darkest of times. 650 0 $a Mother and child $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Imagination $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hiding places $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Poland $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Hiding places. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00955967 650 7 $a Imagination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967585 650 7 $a Mother and child. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026878 651 7 $a Poland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206891 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021635.0 952 $l JYPB641 $d 20220803011420.0 952 $l FJPC224 $d 20220607011232.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2747B376D34B11EC89B31A4336ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
