![]() ![]() This book would be a great addition within a children's classroom. This story goes on to describe the celebrations that still go on to this day in parts of Texas every year when June comes around. This two plus years after Lincoln had abolished slavery. Juneteenth Jamboree celebrates the day that slaves in Texas were told that they were free. ![]() After about the middle of the book, Cassandra learns the real reason to celebrate. Her father tells her that it is a day of celebration and her aunt tells her that they were having company. Cassandra can not understand why this day, not a birthday that she knows of, is so special. This book is about a little girl named Cassandra. Carole Boston Weatherford does it again! She definitely has a way of portraying moments in history that intrigue the young and old alike. ![]()
