About this listen

When Orville “Hope” moves from the hills of Jamaica to New York, he struggles to fit in—until one brave act during recess changes everything. Using the tree-climbing skills he learned back home, Hope rescues a lost kickball and wins the hearts of his classmates.

The Boy Who Saved Recess is a heartwarming story of courage, culture, and belonging that celebrates the strength of staying true to who you are.
