A child-friendly introduction to Juneteenth

Juneteenth is presented through the gap between the 1863 promise of freedom and the news reaching many people on June 19, 1865. The description connects that history with the celebrations that followed and with remembrance of ancestors’ strength. It also frames Juneteenth as a day for honoring progress and keeping freedom and pride in view, giving the holiday both a historical and commemorative focus.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 beginning to learn about Juneteenth
  • Families introducing the history and meaning of the holiday
  • Young readers interested in holidays and celebrations

Book overview

Our Independence Day: Why We Celebrate Juneteenth shares the powerful story of Juneteenth-a day when freedom finally reached those who had waited too long. Though the promise was made in 1863, many didn't hear the news until June 19, 1865.

When they did, there were tears, hugs, and joyful celebrations. Juneteenth reminds us to honor the strength of our ancestors, celebrate how far we've come, and keep the spirit of freedom and pride alive in our hearts.
