this book was well written, and easy to follow. I enjoyed it very much. I enjoyed reading and discussing this book with my 9 and 7 year old boys. There has been a lot of talk about the flag recently - so it was a good time to read it.

I received a copy of this book through netgalley - all thoughts are my own.

Good discourse into the History of our American flag. How the War of 1812 started and how it affected people from different nations and backgrounds, as well as the colonists surrounding the area. It delves into our national ange. And how this period of history influenced its creation. The book is well researched. Particularly like the brief overview at the back of the book. Good reference book for students and teachers great book for the school library. Good for adults to read since it has been some time since they were in school. Material is interesting and not prone to drag on or harp on any one topic.
I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for my volunteer review.

My son absolutely loved this book. It is beautifully illustrated and well written. There is a huge amount of information, written in an accessible way. I’d highly recommend for both the classroom and library.

As we study early American history this year in our homeschool, this is a great recourse of information of the history of our national anthem. The book tells the story of the Star Spangled Banner, along with a timeline and glossary. Unfortunately, in my advanced reader’s digital copy many if the pictures are not yet available. I look forward to seeing the finished physical book.
