Teaching the honest and harder parts of history to children can be daunting, but understanding our past provides essential tools to help them build a better future. This book examines the civil rights movement in a way that is accessible for children, while providing the opportunity for them to reflect and frame an understanding based on their personal experiences. If your kids love to ask questions when they read, then this book will help them drill down, consider how we treat one another, and how we can be better. --Jennifer Grulke, higher education student affairs professional and parent This comprehensive, engaging read answers all the questions a young reader may have regarding the Constitution--why, how, when, where, and what does it mean for today. Trusiani writes with the reader in mind, clearly and thoroughly. A great read and a great resource! --Jennifer Meserve, first grade teacher This timely and compelling overview of Juneteenth shows what it has meant to African Americans since 1865. The History of Juneteenth: A History Book for New Readers is a must-read for young and old alike. Author and justice advocate Arlisha Norwood creates a story that draws readers in while also informing them, and illustrator Sawyer Cloud's powerful images amplify the text. The story is both thought-provoking and emotional. Readers will likely be jumping at the chance to celebrate the 150-year-old holiday. A truly beautiful book! --Common Sense Media
