-# Align Items and Align Self
+import Playground from '@site/src/components/Playground';
+
+# Align Items
+
+Align items describes how to align children along the cross axis of their container.
+Align items is very similar to [`justify content`](/docs/examples/justify-content) but instead of
+applying to the main axis, `align items` applies to the cross axis.
+
+**Stretch (default)**: Stretch children of a container to match the `height` of the container's cross axis.
+
+**Flex start**: Align children of a container to the start of the container's cross axis.
+
+**Flex end**: Align children of a container to the end of the container's cross axis.
+
+**Center**: Align children of a container in the center of the container's cross axis.
+
+**Baseline**: Align children of a container along a common baseline. Individual children can be set to be the reference baseline for their parents.
+
+# Align Self
+
+Align self has the same options and effect as `align items` but instead of
+affecting the children within a container, you can apply this property to
+a single child to change its alignment within its parent. `align self`
+overrides any option set by the parent with `align items`.
