Juneteenth, named a federal holiday in 2021, celebrates the ending of slavery in the United States. The holiday's name is a combination of the words "June" and "nineteenth" as it commemorates June 19, 1865. On that day, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and told the enslaved people there that slavery was abolished. Readers of this important book will learn much more about this important time in history--the Civil War--and the terrible institution of slavery. They'll also learn how Juneteenth is celebrated today. The engaging format--including graphic organizers--will encourage readers of all levels.

Many people have different abilities and disabilities. While that's a universal truth, the language we use to talk about these abilities and disabilities is definitely not universal. What one person may prefer may not be what another person prefers. However, there are many ways to use language that both recognizes differences and doesn't disparage the challenges that may come with them. The informative main text, augmented with engaging fact boxes and full-color photographs, explores the history of disability rights and the many changes in terminology over the years, addressing how language can make a big difference in perception and pride.
