What is Lest We Forget about?

A young boy visits his grandfather and shares the important days of his own life, from starting school to welcoming a baby sister. As they talk, a parallel story unfolds in the illustrations: his grandfather as a young soldier, far from home and the family he loves. Through memories of friendship, separation and loss, the boy begins to understand why ANZAC Day is remembered. This gentle picture book introduces young readers to the personal stories behind war remembrance and the importance of never forgetting.
