Praise
“The picture book . . . not only reveals Taylor’s considerable talents as an inspiring raconteur but as a self-taught quilter whose creations uniquely and symbolically illustrate the historically based narrative.”—Newsday
★ ”Kim Taylor’s portrayal of a girl witnessing the first Juneteenth, accompanied by exquisite quilted artwork, is filled with a spirit of jubilation and freedom. . . . her textile art perfectly complements her evocative prose. . . .”—BookPage, Starred Review
“The illustrations quilted by Taylor display strong artistic use of color, texture, movement, stitching, and symbols. Each page has vibrant colors that grab readers at first glance. . . . Taylor effectively breathes life into the characters, even those muddled in the background, by showing their humanity in each page.”—School Library Journal
“Both lyrical and descriptive, Huldah’s voice conveys the joy that is found in freedom. . . . A great introduction to the federal holiday.”—The Horn Book
“Taylor aptly depicts this story through colorful woven fabrics and folk art-style, quilted scenes.”—Booklist
“[A] moving debut. . . . It’s a discussion-starting, personal-feeling portrait of a communal celebration.”—Publishers Weekly
