review:
'The Juneteenth Story' by Alliah L. Agostini with illustrations by Sawyer Cloud is a picture book telling the story of the new national holiday.
Two years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, the news finally reached Texas and became a day to celebrate and remember. The holiday slowly spread as families moved to other states, but it was still largely unknown until the President made it a holiday for everyone to celebrate.
Filled with facts and wonderful pictures, I really enjoyed learning more about this holiday and feeling sad that it took this long to learn about it.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - becker & mayer, and NetGalley. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
