A few new Juneteenth books for the library:
The author asks how you would celebrate this day of freedom.
Although there are not many words to this book, it is powerful. There is an explanation of the history of Juneteenth in the back of the book along with words to Lift Every Voice and Sing.
A young girl is celebrating Juneteenth with her block and asks several people about their previous celebrations.
I love how this book talks about the history of the day in memories of people at the party. It's a clever book that shares hope for the future as well. At the end of the book, the author shares the history of day, information and importance about the color red, and a recipe.
Mrs. Connor's class is learning about Juneteenth.
While this isn't chock full of information, it's a nice starting point. This series shares a lot of books that work well for kids learning to read. This book also contains a letter to caregivers about Juneteenth
