Featuring stunning illustrations that bring to life a touching story about the effects of World War I on four generations of a family living in Flanders, this fantastic publication manages to address a gap in the market for a book that explains what the poppy symbol means and represents to kids – who, as per the British Legion’s own research, are actually the most enthusiastic poppy-wearers!
