Product Description
How did the bright red poppy that we all wear in November become Canada's symbol of honouring those who fought for our freedom on Remembrance Day? Moving text coupled with stunning illustrations by Governor General's Awardwinning artist Ron Lightburn explain the symbolism behind the poppy. A bonus for teachers is the fi ve-page spread all about the poem, “In Flanders Fields,” Canada's wartime and peacekeeping endeavours, and the adoption of the poppy as our Remembrance Day emblem.

A Poppy Is to Remember,
By Tami Brady "Whole Health" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: A Poppy is to Remember (Paperback)
I think now more than ever before we need to remember those that have fought for our country so that we could have a better life. It seems as the years pass, we find it easier to forget. With fewer Veterans of World War I and II each year to remind us of their sacrifice, we only give lip service to their memory. We may feel sad when we hear on the news that another Canadian peacekeeper has died serving his or her country but quickly forget as we continue on with our regular routine. Remembrance Day has just become another holiday.A Poppy Is to Remember reminds the next generation about their Canadian past. It tells the story of the Poppy and of the poem In Flanders Fields. This Remembrance Day, learn the true meaning of the poppy and wear yours with pride.

Thoughtful and beautiful,
By katharos (Surrey, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Poppy is to Remember (Hardcover)
The book is written simply so even small children can understand it. The pictures are also beautiful. At the end of the main part of the book is "The Story of the Poppy" which is more interesting for older children and adults. I think this is a great book to read every year around Remembrance Day. The poem, "In Flander's Fields" is something that all Canadians should have memorised. Even if a child doesn't understand what it's saying, it will be in his or her memory and be meaningful at an older age.
