Schoolchildren face the flag and recite the Pledge of Allegiance every day, but do they understand why it's so important? Red, White, & Blue - Our Flag Matters to Me and You explains some of the many reasons why we stand for our American flag and the freedoms it represents. When a little boy finds an American flag in tatters on the ground, the wise Liberty eagle explains those freedoms and why we respect, and stand for, our flag. Red, White, & Blue - Our Flag Matters to Me and You is a rhyming, colorful, picture book reminder of why we stand for the flag.Red, White, & Blue - Our Flag Matters to Me and You is the second children's book by Dr. Ben Carson and Valerie Pfundstein. It's published as part of the Little Patriots Program, an educational outreach program for kids created by the non-profit American Cornerstone Institute. Through lessons and cartoons rooted in our American history, the Little Patriots Program focuses on the founding four pillars: faith, liberty, community, and life, and celebrates all the values that make our country exceptional.
