I help Poppa fasten the medal above the pocket of his blazer. Sometimes his hands shake, so he needs to borrow mine. He smiles as he gives me a poppy to pin on my jacket.

A gentle and caring grandpa answers his grandson's questions about what it was like to serve in the war. As the two make a game of preparing for a memorial service, the child comes to understand the importance of the solemn occasion and the act of remembering.

Proud as a Peacock, Brave as a Lion is a special book that will put very young readers on the path to remembrance and lasting appreciation for those who sacrificed and risked their lives in service to their country.
