Juneteenth for Mazie by Floyd Cooper

4.0

Juneteenth for Mazie is written and illustrated by Floyd Cooper. Mazie is a typical kid who wants to push the boundaries of her world a little bit. She gets mad when she can't eat what she wants, go outside when she wants, or stay up as late as she wants to. Her father teachers about a time when African American men and women were also not allowed to do as they liked. He explains the Juneteenth celebration to Maizie and they celebrate together.
