  A moving book about the history of Emancipation Park in Houston, Texas—and the origins of Juneteenth. 
  When people visit me, they are free—to run, play, gather, and rejoice. 
  They built me to remember. 
  On June 19, 1865, the 250,000 enslaved people of Texas learned they were free, ending slavery in the United States. This day was soon to be memorialized with the dedication of a park in Houston. The park was called Emancipation Park, and the day it honored would come to be known as Juneteenth.   
  In the voice and memory of the park itself—its fields and pools, its protests and cookouts, and, most of all, its people—the 150-year story of Emancipation Park is brought to life. Through lyrical text Tonya Duncan Ellis and Jenin Mohammed have crafted an ode to the struggle, triumph, courage, and joy of Black America—and the promise of a people to remember.

  In this tender Edwardian tale of childhood, loss, and imagination, I Wish I Were a Dog follows young Dicky Brook—a sensitive boy who struggles to meet the expectations of his strict father and brilliant siblings. Living in a home shaped by grief and duty, Dicky finds solace only in the unconditional love of Jasper, the family spaniel. 
  When a particularly difficult day leaves Dicky feeling worthless and misunderstood, he begins to daydream of a simpler life—one where he could be a dog, free from judgment and failure. As his imagination takes over, Dicky journeys into a surreal, emotional world where dreams and reality blur. 
  Rich with emotional nuance and written with gentle irony, this poignant short story explores the deep inner world of a child longing for comfort, understanding, and identity. Narrated with warmth and grace by Martine Baruch, I Wish I Were a Dog is a heartfelt, introspective classic for listeners of all ages.
