THE GATHERING TABLE S1E7

from Toddling the Stacks · host Sean Gill

We wanted to find a Juneteenth book for our little that would address the holiday without requiring a lot of context she just isn't equipped to understand yet. The Gathering Table did just that, showing us a world where Juneteenth is every day that we're able to love and honor our families and community without fear. Join us for our discussion on this lovingly illustrated ode to family and tradition, which features some framing from the great James Baldwin. Juneteenth is a reason for all of us to celebrate, and we hope you'll join with us in celebrating this accessible and endearing picture book! (NOTE: No oranges were used in the making of lemonade for this podcast).Visit us at http://www.toddlingthestacks.com for previous episodes, info on the show, and what Adalyn is reading now! If you like the episode, please subscribe and share with friends!YT: https://www.youtube.com/@ToddlingTheStacksInsta: https://www.instagram.com/toddlingthestacks/BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/toddlingthestacks.comFB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588725012180Show graphics by Emily Tetrault.
