4.0
A huge thanks to Thomas Nelson for the complimentary copy . All opinions expressed are my own.
This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of how Juneteenth came to be and tells the story of Black activist Opal Lee.. The picture book’s is laid out in a way that Opal is the one telling her story to her great-grandson Buddy and a group of children where she tells them the history of slavery and the Emancipation Proclamation, then tells about Juneteenth when she was a child in the Jim Crow era, I enjoyed this book and found it eye opening . Read it and absorb it! Everyone should read this book.
