That Flag

An affecting picture book from Tameka Fryer Brown and #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Nikkolas Smith ( The 1619 Project: Born on the Water ) that challenges the meaning behind the still-waving Confederate flag through the friendship of two young girls who live across the street from each other. Bianca is Keira''s best friend. At school, they are inseparable. But Keira questions their friendship when she learns more about the meaning of the Confederate flag hanging from Bianca''s front porch. Will the two friends be able to overlook their distinct understandings of the flag? Or will they reckon with the flag''s effect on yesterday and today? In That Flag , Tameka Fryer Brown and Nikkolas Smith graciously tackle the issues of racism, the value of friendship, and the importance of understanding history so that we move forward together in a thought-provoking, stirring, yet ultimately tender tale. A perfect conversation starter for the older and younger generations alike, this book includes back matter on the history of the Confederate flag and notes from the creators.
