Overview
Did you know that the flag of the USA was inspired by that of the East India Company ā a private shipping company that traded in the spoils of the British Empire? Do you know what the black star on the flag of Ghana means? Or why the Russian flag looks similar to that of the Netherlands?

Through simple designs and colours, national flags can tell us a lot about the histories, identities and interrelationships of the countries they represent. GroupingĀ flags together first by continent and then by theme, this illuminating book explains how countries relate to one another, and how their politics and histories are interconnected. It provides a great launch point for discussions around identity, geography and nation building, and is aĀ timely addition to the reference shelf of any politically curious 6 to 11-year old.Ā
All About Flags! is packed with fascinating facts, clearly arranged by Robin Jacobs (Earth-Shattering Events,Ā Cicada, 2019) and engagingly presented by Ben Javens (Alex and Alex, Cicada, 2021).Ā
