 \;</a></p>\n<p>In Poland\, as World War II rages\, a mother hides with her
  young daughter\, a musical prodigy whose slightest sound may cost them th
 eir lives.</p>\n<p>As Nazi soldiers round up the Jews in their town\, R&oa
 cute\;za and her 5-year-old daughter\, Shira\, flee\, seeking shelter in a
  neighbor&rsquo\;s barn. Hidden in the hayloft day and night\, Shira strug
 gles to stay still and quiet\, as music pulses through her and the farmyar
 d outside beckons. To soothe her daughter and pass the time\, R&oacute\;za
  tells her a story about a girl in an enchanted garden:</p>\n<p>The girl i
 s forbidden from making a sound\, so the yellow bird sings. He sings whate
 ver the girl composes in her head: high-pitched trills of piccolo\; low-th
 roated growls of contrabassoon. Music helps the flowers bloom.</p>\n<p>In 
 this make-believe world\, R&oacute\;za can shield Shira from the horrors t
 hat surround them. But the day comes when their haven is no longer safe\, 
 and R&oacute\;za must make an impossible choice: whether to keep Shira by 
 her side or give her the chance to survive apart.</p>\n<p>Inspired by the 
 true stories of Jewish children hidden during World War II\, Jennifer Rosn
 er&rsquo\;s debut is a breathtaking novel about the unbreakable bond betwe
 en a mother and a daughter. Beautiful and riveting\,&nbsp\;<em>The Yellow 
 Bird Sings</em>&nbsp\;is a testament to the triumph of hope―a whisp
 ered story\, a bird&rsquo\;s song―in even the darkest of times.</p>
