Overview
June 14 is Flag Day, but with so many American flags proudly displayed, every day seems like Flag Day. Perfect for reading together with a young child, F Is for Flag shows in simple terms how one flag can mean many things: a symbol of unity, a sign of welcome, and a reminder that-in good times and in bad-everyone in our country is part of one great big family.
Celebrates the origin, symbolism, and power of the banner that represents the United States of America.
Synopsis
Celebrates the origin, symbolism, and power of the banner that represents the United States of America.
Carey Ahr - Children's Literature
With a bright, conversational tone, Lewison takes readers through the many aspects of the American Flag-where it is displayed, what it stands for, its origins, its nicknames, and how we respect it. The illustrations are colorful and accessible, and a sense of patriotism and Americana are present throughout. Multiple cultures are shown while the text and pictures both emphasize that we are one big family. This is a great way to introduce young readers to our flag and all the meaning that stands behind it. The book states that Betsy Ross may not have been the one who made the first flag, scoring several points for historical accuracy. 2002, Grosset & Dunlap,
