America's Flag Story

by Karen S. Robbins, J. James (Illustrator)

Overview

This beautiful story on the history of the American flag features rhyming text accompanied by symbolic and moving illustrations.

The American flag waves in reverence for many—for the immigrants who came and built a nation with hard work and ingenuity and for all who continue to defend and serve our nation. It represents the freedom, the endurance, and the indomitable courage that makes America the home of the free and brave.

The verse and artwork in this illustrated children's book resonates with the symbolism that represents those very characteristics of our nation, and offers young readers a clear understanding of how this symbol of our country says so much. Readers will also learn about flag etiquette and the proper technique for flag-folding with easy-to-follow instructions.
