Junie Joy is a special all natural doll made in jubilation for Juneteenth, the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States.

QUOTE [June 19th—which was quickly shortened to "Juneteenth" among celebrants—has become the African-American addendum to our national Independence Day, for, as Juneteenth jubilees remind us, the Emancipation Proclamation did not bring about emancipation, and the prevailing portrayal of Independence Day ignores the ignominious incidence of slavery entirely. Today, Juneteenth is promoted not only as a commemoration of African-American freedom, but as an example and encouragement of self-development and respect for all cultures.]

Junie is made with love and care, using traditional methods and quality natural materials: clean carded wool batting, heavyweight cotton interlock in a beautiful brown skin tone, and a soft wool wig. She has embroidered dark brown eyes and a sweet ruby smile. Her party dress is printed quilting cotton, pure wool red felt shoes, lace trimmed cotton sox,  and cotton panties. All clothes are removable and hand washable.

For ages 3 years and up only please, due to small parts.
