A lyrical picture book about our newest national holiday,
Juneteenth follows the annual celebration in Galveston,
Texas--birthplace of Juneteenth--through the eyes of a boy coming
to understand his place in Black American history in a story from
three Texan creators. A young Black child experiences the magic of
the Juneteenth parade for the first time with their family as they
come to understand the purpose of the party that happens every
year--and why they celebrate their African American history! The
poetic text includes selected lyrics from "Lift Every Voice and
Sing," the unofficial Black National Anthem, and the vibrant art
illuminates the beauty of this moment of Black joy, celebrated
across the nation. This vibrant adventure through the city streets
invites young readers to make a joyful noise about freedom for all.
