Help me scratch this mental itch?

When I was in elementary school, I read this young adult book about a band of children who carry an American flag all the way to Washington, D.C. (along a highway, maybe?) for some reason. Anyone know the book?

This has been bothering me for about five years now. My (very fuzzy) memory of the cover has it as being white, with a big American flag flowing across it. Any ideas?
