Celebrate!
Juneteenth is a day to be celebrated because it reminds us that no one can be a slave again.
At one time, people owned other people—they were called slaves. People who were slaves could never do what they wanted. Instead, other people told them what to do, eat and where to live. Sometimes, they hurt the slaves.
Over one hundred years ago, the Civil War was fought so slavery would end. Many people lost their lives to give slaves their freedom.
President Abraham Lincoln ended slavery January 1, 1863, but it took until June 19, 1865, for everyone to learn no one could be a slave again. That is the day we rejoice!
This five-star, chunky board book explains history in a way children can understand, with illustrations that clarify it even more. I recommend this for toddlers through eight-year-olds.
