This flag was dreamed up a long, long time ago, in 1849! It became the official flag of Cuba on May 20, 1902. People call it the Estrella Solitaria, which means 'Lone Star' in Spanish. This star is all by itself, but it's super important. It's like the brightest star in the night sky, standing out and leading the way for everyone in Cuba.

The flag is like a superhero costume for Cuba! It helps everyone know when they are in Cuba. The design is so cool that it belongs to a special group of flags called 'Stars and Stripes' flags. It's a symbol of freedom and hope for the Cuban people. Imagine wearing your favorite superhero cape – that's how Cubans feel about their flag!
