YELLOW BIRD SINGS by: Jennifer Rosner

The Yellow Bird Sings by Jennifer Rosner is a powerful and lyrical historical novel set during World War II.  

In Poland, 1941, as the Nazis round up the Jewish population, a mother and daughter flee into hiding. Roza, a music-loving mother, and her five-year-old daughter, Shira, take shelter in a barn where silence is essential for survival. To comfort her daughter and protect her innocence, Roza invents a world of music and stories—where a yellow bird sings the melodies Shira must keep locked inside.

As the war intensifies and danger grows, Roza is faced with a heartbreaking decision: whether to stay together and risk discovery, or separate to give her daughter a chance at life.

The Yellow Bird Sings is a moving story of maternal love, sacrifice, imagination, and the enduring power of music and hope amidst unimaginable horror.
