Discover the rich history, vibrant culture and unique identity of each nation through its flag!

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Every country in the world has a national flag—one country even has two—and there's so much to be learned from these vibrant symbols about the people and places they represent. Discover the druk of Bhutan—its fierce thunder dragon—or how the stunning Southern Cross unites the nations of the Pacific. Learn how each UK country is represented by the Union Flag and how a banner falling from the heavens inspired Denmark to make the world's oldest flag.

Divided into sections covering each continent and featuring theme spreads discussing common similarities of flags around the world, Flags celebrates each nation's uniqueness and how our identities are closer than we might think! Unfurl each flag and explore the hopes, dreams, and ambitions of our world's great nations.
