Description

This patriotic book is designed to teach children about U.S. flag etiquette through an educational fiction story. It also includes discussion questions, flag facts, and an activity. Elizabeth may be a little bear, but she treats the American flag with big respect. Elizabeth wakes up the American flag in the morning and puts it to bed at night. She acts as her father's "flag keeper," helping him with his daily tasks of raising the flag and retiring it for the evening. She soaks up the etiquette facts that Dad teaches her, including don't leave the flag out in the dark without a spotlight. When Dad leaves for a business trip, it frustrates Elizabeth that their flag will be stuck in a boring garage. Every flag she sees reminds her of her job as flag keeper. Elizabeth grows determined to make her father proud by proving she can raise the flag herself and follow all the rules of flag etiquette.

The Flag Keeper is ideal for military families, Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops, classroom and library use, and for anyone who wishes to teach a special child about American flag etiquette. It is a perfect complement to patriotic holidays such as Flag Day and the Fourth of July.

Bonus material - the Kindle edition has bonus features that include an interview with the author about the writing of the book and an excerpt of the electronic picture book Victoria Rose and the Big Bad Noise.

Excerpt: Elizabeth attached the hooks and raised the halyard. Oh, no! The flag was upside down! Who'd ever heard of an upside-down flag? Vowing to fix it later, Elizabeth scrambled for the bus. After school, Elizabeth hurried through her homework so she could go outside. The doorbell rang and she peered out the window.
"It's the police, Mom," Elizabeth whispered.

"Your flag is upside down," the officer told them. "That's a sign of an emergency. Everything okay here?"
Her voice shaking, Elizabeth spoke up. "My dad went on a trip so I raised the flag. I was going to fix it. Really."
"We'll bring it in right now," said Mom. "Thanks for checking on us."
