Celebrating Presidents' Day with Ellie: Flags, History, and More

Ellie Could, a quirky and humorous second-grader, has a passion for learning about US presidents. Her excitement peaks when she has the chance to be the class flag chief the week before Presidents' Day. Despite never being chosen for this role before, Ellie is determined to make it happen. In her quest to be selected, she ends up hilariously karate chopping the class plant to test the truth about George Washington and the cherry tree myth. She then disassembles the class pencil sharpener upon discovering Abraham Lincoln's interest in how gadgets work. Unlike the perfect Miss-Know-it-All Ava or her calm best friend Lizzy, Ellie is well-meaning. Through her amusing adventures, she comes to realize the value of honesty and patience.
