Juneteenth Storytime with Natasha Tripplett

Join author Natasha Tripplett for a Juneteenth Storytime.

Join author Natasha Tripplett for a Juneteenth Storytime.  Natasha will read aloud her acclaimed children's book Juneteenth Is.

Juneteenth Is shares an intimate look at the Juneteenth holiday. It is a warm exploration of a family and a community. Juneteenth is the smell of brisket filling the air. Juneteenth is the sounds of music, dancing, and cheering ringing from the parade outside. It is love. It is prayer. It is friends and relatives coming together to commemorate freedom, hope for tomorrow, and one another. This book is an ode to the history of the Black community in the United States, a tribute to Black joy, and a portrait of familial love. 

Natasha Tripplett lives in Northern California where she writes from a treehouse perched in a sycamore tree. Natasha is a Jamaican Jewish American author who is passionate about cultural representation in children's literature. She bubbles with excitement over antiques, chocolate, coffee on the front porch, and cozy movie nights in front of the fireplace with her husband and four children.
