What is Remembrance Day about?
Why do people wear poppies and gather on 11 November? This accessible introduction explains how the 1918 Armistice brought the First World War to an end and how Remembrance Day came to honour those who died in later conflicts too. Gillian Clements combines lively illustrations, maps, speech bubbles and carefully chosen eyewitness accounts to bring the past to life. Young readers discover the meaning behind the two minutes’ silence and the ceremonies held each year across Britain and beyond.
