A stirring, dramatic story of a slave who mails himself to freedom
by a Jane Addams Peace Award-winning author and a Coretta Scott
King Award-winning artist.
Henry Brown doesn't know how old he is. Nobody keeps records of
slaves' birthdays. All the time he dreams about freedom, but that
dream seems farther away than ever when he is torn from his family
and put to work in a warehouse. Henry grows up and marries, but he
is again devastated when his family is sold at the slave market.
Then one day, as he lifts a crate at the warehouse, he knows
exactly what he must do: He will mail himself to the North. After
an arduous journey in the crate, Henry finally has a birthday --
his first day of freedom.
