DESCRIPTION:

In this first story by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison, parents, teachers and other adults determine the boundaries of personal freedom for Patty and Mickey and Liza Sue, three feisty kids "who just can't handle their freedom." To make these youngsters abide by their rules, the grown-ups create a world inside a box, a world with toys and games, and treats and gifts, and all kinds of stuff they think kids need to be happy and carefree - everything from a picture of the sky to jelly beans and brand-new jeans. But all Patty and Mickey and Liza Sue really want is the freedom to be themselves. And they ask, why can't adults grant them this freedom? The Big Box will leave readers cheering for Patty and Mickey and Liza Sue - and for all children who let the innocence and ingenuity shine.
