This emotional and lyrical picture book by acclaimed poet Zetta Elliott, with breathtaking illustrations by debut illustrator David Anthony Geary, celebrates the importance of Juneteenth as well as the resilience of Black families and the power of community.
Black child
you were birthed from a

infinite and vast

Never forget it was HOPE that birthed you… .
