| Abstract: |
Is based on the moving song that Rhiannon Giddens wrote and performed with cellist Yo-Yo Ma on the 155th anniversary of Juneteenth in 2020. Giddens' lovely, poignant new book illustrates the song, telling the story of enslavement and freedom: "You brought me here/ To build your house/ To build your house/ To build your house./ You brought me here/ To build your house/ And grow your garden/ Fine." Giddens is a renowned singer, songwriter, banjo player - see her extraordinary, student-friendly Songs of Our Native Daughters - and offers teachers another gift with this beautiful book.
