About this ebook

Set in the vibrant city of Washington, DC, this heartfelt tale combines playfulness, family bonding, and historical exploration.
When Kiya and Malik visit their grandparents' house, they quickly set upon making a blanket fort out of old quilts found around the house that will serve as their secret agent headquarters.

Together these two secret agents decide to make a special Juneteenth-themed quilt patterns, symbolizing their celebration of freedom and African American heritage. They use these patterns to spread their own message of the Juneteenth celebration happening in town.
