This book did a great job with exploring the topic of Juneteenth.
The main character, June lives in Texas. June's cousin, Lillie, comes from NY to visit June's family in Texas. Lillie doesn't know much about Juneteenth and to some degree makes offensive remarks that rubs June the wrong way. Aunt Marshall, a great great aunt of the two girls, listen to her tell the history behind Juneteenth and why that date is so special to her.
This is an easy read that breaks down the importance of Juneteenth. I like how the back of the book gives even more details, dates, and important names.
