Benny was an Aleut Indian boy living in an Alaskan mission home many years before Alaska became a state. One day his teacher told the class about a contest to make a flag for Alaska. That night the boys and girls of the mission house made many designs for the flag. Benny thought about what he loved most about Alaska. Benny knew what he wanted his flag to be like: the blue field for the Alaska sky and the forget-me-not flower; the North Star for the future State of Alaska, the most northerly state in the Union; and the dipper for the Great Bearsymbolizing strength. A month later the teacher announced: Children, the flag contest is over. From all over Alaska children sent in designs for the flag. And Bennys design has won the contest! Bennys Flag is a true story.Ages 5-8
