Book Overview

You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.

With a foreword by Norman Rockwell's grandson, John Rockwell, this book is a treasure that families will love to sing along with.

Stunning artwork

How appropriate to use Normal Rockwell illustrations for this wonderful patriotic song. I will be using the book to teach my music students the beautiful song.

Grand Old Flag

This book is excellent! The words to the song are split so there is one line to a page which is beautifully illustrated. It is very fun to sing the whole song while turning the pages and looking at the drawings. You can't botch up the words or forget something. A good feeling, patriotic book.
