520    This moving picture book tells the story of Juneteenth 
       with all the care and reverence such a holiday deserves. 
       The rhyming text and stunning illustrations will teach 
       children about this historic day in history.'Twas the 
       night before freedom, and all through the South, long-
       whispered rumors had, spread word of mouth. "It's coming! 
       It's coming!" I heard people say. "Emancipation is coming 
       our way."Eight-year-old David and his family gather at 
       Grandma's house in Galveston, Texas, for a cherished 
       family tradition: Grandma's annual retelling of the story 
       of Juneteenth, the holiday that commemorates the end of 
       slavery in the United States. The signing of the 
       Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln 
       meant that all enslaved persons within the rebellious 
       states would be free as of January 1, 1863. However, 
       people in Texas did not receive the news of their 
       emancipation until two and a half years later--on June 19,
       1865. Grandma tells the story of anticipation, 
       emancipation, and jubilation just as it was told to her 
       many years before by her own grandmother, Mom Bess. As a 
       six-year-old, Bess had experienced the very first 
       Juneteenth. Before that day, she could only imagine what 
       liberty would look like. But once freedom arrived, would 
       it live up to a little girl's dreams?The story is written 
       in the same meter as Clement C. Moore's The Night Before 
       Christmas, making it a perfect book for parents and kids 
       to read together
