In a moving, lyrical tale about the cost and fragility of freedom, a New York Times best-selling author and an acclaimed artist follow the life of a man who courageously shipped himself out of slavery.

What have I to fear?
My master broke every promise to me.
I lost my beloved wife and our dear children.
All, sold South. Neither my time nor my body is mine.
The breath of life is all I have to lose.
And bondage is suffocating me.

Henry Brown wrote that long before he came to be known as Box, he "entered the world a slave." He was put to work as a child and passed down from one generation to the next -- as property. When he was an adult, his wife and children were sold away from him out of spite. Henry Brown watched as his family left bound in chains, headed to the deeper South. What more could be taken from him? But then hope -- and help -- came in the form of the Underground Railroad. Escape

In stanzas of six lines each, each line representing one side of a box, celebrated poet Carole Boston Weatherford powerfully narrates Henry Brown's story of how he came to send himself in a box from slavery to freedom. Strikingly illustrated in rich hues and patterns by artist Michele Wood, Box is augmented with historical records and an introductory excerpt from Henry's own writing as well as a time line, notes from the author and illustrator, and a bibliography.

Great product for money but pay attn to your model filters are different on newer models.
Size: 20 PACK
The rollers work great and fit nicely into my Euphy which turned out I have a early version of which means none of the filters don’t fit my Euphy unfortunately and I hadn’t payed attention to the filters I was looking to get a 2 pack of rollers, the filters look nice though like they would make a great seal with the plastic and seal around them. I won’t buy them again for sure though for obvious reasons. Euphy is so much quieter then my second vacuum that’s a Roomba and she definitely gives her a run for her money and when it dies I will definitely be replacing her with a Euphy.

Excellent fit and value - recommended buy
Size: 3+12+12+2+1 pack
I rarely write reviews, but I'm so impressed by the fit and quality of this set that I made an exception. I'd been running my eufy 11S without brushes, and have been cleaning and reusing the filters for a while now and finally decided to buy replacements. The kit came packed well with everything in order and no damage. I replaced all of the worn parts and installed the brushes and did a test run - everything worked great. I expected some fitment issues because I've seen that with other kits, but I had no issues. The fact that you get multiples of almost everything is icing on the cake. Oh, and I wasn't paid or given anything in exchange for this review, as much as that's worth now, haha. I can recommend getting this kit for your robot vacuum, if it's the right set for your model.

Good option for an aftermarket replacement solution.
Size: 3+12+12+2+1 pack
I've been very happy with this product. I think it is a good price point for what is included. Everything was a directly compatible and everything fit as you would expect. The filter quality is good and since there are plenty in the kit I find I change the filters more often which is probably a good thing. I recommed.

Eufy Brushes wear out with daily use
Size: 4 Pack
These brushes help the Eufy continue to run efficiently. I have 2 dogs and run 2 Eufies daily. It is surprising how much sand, dust, gravel and hair gets vacuumed. My furniture isn't as dusty and my floor doesn't need mopping as often.
