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.

I have an odd love for historical children‘s chapter books. On vacation last week in a thrift store, I found this book about Betsy Ross and someone‘s grocery list from 1975. I think this is the oldest dated item I have ever found in a book.
This is the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star Spangled Banner which became our National Anthem. It is ensconced in a light- and temperature-controlled exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington DC. It is an amazing thing to experience, humbling and awe-inspiring and unforgettable. 🇺🇸 #FlagDay #JulyJam @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
