As family and friends recount their memories and stories of Juneteenths past, a young girl learns about the holiday's longstanding history and traditions.
Filled with bright art, accessible language, and informational back matter, this educational book joyfully welcomes readers to the block party!

"It’s a forthright communal reminiscence that reflects on myriad traditions alongside an overarching theme: “On Juneteenth, we acknowledge our freedom.”"—Publisher's Weekly
