Mazie is ready to celebrate liberty. She is ready to celebrate freedom. She is ready to celebrate a great day in American history the day her ancestors were no longer slaves.

Add a CommentGood picture book to include on your summer reading list. " Juneteenth " is important holiday for Black Americans' . The Lexile level is 550-675 and grade level 3rd. Thanks Floyd Cooper!
I really liked this story because it gives some of the historical facts mixed into a portrayal of the celebration and what it means.
Mazie learns about Juneteenth from father. A beautifully illustrated introduction to an important date and celebration.
