What makes a flag? What do the images, colors and overall design represent?

Why fly a flag? It might be to prove sovereignty, to honor lineage or glorify the past. A new flag could reflect change in a country's values or governing principles. It can reveal religion, identity, or convictions. It can show strength or communicate intention like maritime signals for ships at sea.

Find out all the answers in this informative reference!

Unfortunately the Deaf Flag is not included in this book as it was published in 2020. Find Firefly Books on their social media accounts and ask that it be included in an updated edition!
