This was a great book to explain what the American Flag is and why it is important! Very clear concepts!

This book demonstrates the definition of the flag for the United States. Every person the three students asked what the flag means, they have a different meaning. The students could paint rocks to create the United States flag and have the students describe what it means to them.
