rhyming text and stunning illustrations will teach children about this historic day in history.'Twas the night before freedom, and all through the South, long-whispered rumors had, spread word of mouth. "It&’s coming! It&’s coming!" I heard people say. "Emancipation is coming our way."Eight-year-old David and his family gather at Grandma&’s house in Galveston, Texas, for a cherished family tradition: Grandma&’s annual retelling of the story of Juneteenth, the holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.The signing of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln meant that all enslaved persons within the rebellious states would be free as of January 1, 1863. However, people in Texas did not receive the news of their emancipation until two and a half years later—on June 19, 1865. Grandma tells the story of anticipation, emancipation, and jubilation just as it was told to her many years before by her own grandmother, Mom Bess. As a six-year-old, Bess had experienced the very first Juneteenth. Before that day, she could only imagine what liberty would look like. But once freedom arrived, would it live up to a little girl&’s dreams?The story is written in the same meter as Clement C.

Par Joanne Levy. 2023
Fishel (Fish) Rosner, douze ans, n’aime pas les activités qui plaisent généralement aux garçons. Il déteste les sports et préfère…
lire ou faire du bricolage plutôt que de grimper aux arbres ou de faire du vélo de montagne avec ses amis. Il aime aussi danser. Tout ce qu’il aime est considéré comme des passe-temps de « filles », mais Fish ne comprend pas pourquoi ce serait une mauvaise chose. Il s’intéresse simplement à des activités différentes des autres garçons. Quand il demande à sa Bubby de lui enseigner le tricot, elle lui dit d’aller jouer dehors. Quand il insiste pour que sa mère l’amène au cours de zumba, elle l’inscrit plutôt au water-polo. Pourquoi tout le monde décide-t-il ce que Fish doit faire ou ne pas faire?Father Christmas
