The Juneteenth Story: Celebrating the End of Slavery in the United States by Alliah L. Agostini, Sawyer Cloud
informative
5.0
Thank you, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for providing me with a DRC of The Juneteenth Story.
The Juneteenth Story briefly explains the history of the end of slavery in the United States in the format of a picture book. It does have more text and is more informational than your average picture book. So I would recommend this book for a bit more older children (and adults because I also learnt a lot due to this book!). Agostini did a great job in telling this complicated history in just a few pages. The illustrations are wonderful. I recommend The Juneteenth Story to anyone young or old who wants to learn more about Juneteenth.
