"Some things bring us together, and some push us apart. Bianca and Keira, inseparable friends, share many things: their braids, their love of reading and four square. But Keira can’t go to Bianca’s house, because her parents fly “that flag.” What does a flag have to do with her friendship with Bianca? When a field trip to a Southern Legacy Museum reveals how differently the two girls view the flag, Keira’s heart is broken. Will anything change Bianca’s point of view? That Flag is a touching and hopeful take on a very divisive topic, vibrantly illustrated by Nikkolas Smith. (For ages 6 to 10)"
