Children & Young Adult

Produced in partnership with the Royal British Legion, this beautifully illustrated non-fiction book explains to children why it's so important to remember those we have lost in wars. The sensitively written text tells of the world wars as well as other wars that are remembered at this time. It explains the history behind poppies, why we hold 1- or 2-minute silences and what happens in commemorative parades around the world. The book includes poems and quotes from veterans who bravely fought in these wars.
