Story

The flag of Tuvalu is a beautiful light blue, just like the vast Pacific Ocean that surrounds the islands. In the corner, the Union Jack reminds us of Tuvalu's history as a British colony. The nine yellow stars shine brightly, each representing one of Tuvalu's islands, like little beacons of hope. Imagine sailing across the ocean, with the wind in your hair and the stars guiding your way home. This flag tells a story of adventure, connection, and the importance of the sea to the people of Tuvalu.
