Product Description
Schools, parades, post offices, and the moon. These are just some of the places we see the American flag. Fifty stars stand for the states that make up this country. Thirteen stripes remind us of the colonies that fought for their freedom. But the flag has not always looked the way it does today. Its history is as colored and rich as our country's past. Yet despite the ways the flag has changed in the past two hundred years, the pride, unity, and strength it inspires have never faltered. STARS AND STRIPES: The Story of the American Flag invites readers to travel back in time and witness firsthand how our flag came to be.

6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Stars And Stripes: The Story Of The American Flag is a picture book by Sarah L. Thomson retelling of American history and symbolism in terms of the role that the star-and-stripes banner which has played throughout more than two centuries in rallying hopes, ranging from the tale of the flag's creation in the Revolutionary War, down to its message of endurance after the September 11th attacks. Superbly enhanced with the artwork of Bob Dacey and Debra Bandelin, Stars And Strips is a patriotic, high-spirited presentation which should have a prominent place within the young reader collections of every elementary school and community library collection in the country.
