“They didn‘t have enough room in their little house to put the big flag together. “

A teacher could use this book to introduce the history of the flag, and the symbolism within. Students could design their own flags after reading the story and discuss the symbolism behind their flags.

Week 9: Historical Fiction! Amazing story about flags and the makers. This story has many clues that pertain to the timing of this story. The illustrations are bright and beautiful, really matching the story. Published: 1988.
