It has received wonderful reviews, including a starred review in Publishers Weekly, calling it a "... big-hearted picture book ...This hopeful, mouth-watering narrative showcases tender family rapport"

SHOW THE WORLD asks kids what they will do, say or create to express who they are, whether by painting a mural, performing a poem, inventing something out-of-this-world or in any number of other marvelous ways.

JOYFUL JUBILLE: A JUNETEENTH PARTY is an early reader written from the point-of-view of a young girl welcoming her friend (the reader) to her family's Juneteenth barbeque celebration. Her relatives help with telling the historical significance and emotional aspects of the holiday. At the end, the girl explains that the celebration is a reminder that freedom is a civil right for all.
