## Align Items
Align items describes how to align children along the cross axis of their container.
Align items is very similar to [`justify content`](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.

## 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`.
