'Discover all you ever wanted to know about country flags of the world in this exceptional book. Highly visual and a delight to read.' - The School Librarian
Unlock the stories that hide behind the colours and symbols of flags around the world.
Why is the Ethiopian flag so inspirational?
What does the black star mean on the flag of Ghana?
Why does the Russian flag look similar to that of the Netherlands?
National flags can tell us a lot about the histories and identities of the countries they represent, including how countries relate to one another. Most of the countries in the world today were established in the early to mid 20th century. In the wake of colonialism and two world wars, borders were drawn up, most of which remain more or less the same today. Each country chose a symbol with which to represent themselves; their flags.
This accessible atlas of flags around the world is packed with fascinating facts clearly arranged by Robin Jacobs (Earth Shattering Events) and engagingly presented by Ben Javens (Alex and Alex). A timely addition to the reference shelf of any politically curious 6–11-year-old.
From the Rising Sun flag of Japan to the Sun of May flag of Argentina, let’s discover the joys of vexillology!
