Each autumn, a small red flower begins to appear. It flourishes at a time when others do not. But what does it mean? And why do people wear it? Alive with poppies for Remembrance, We all fall silent at the hour. But what's the meaning of this moment? Why do so many wear a flower? Tomos Roberts' moving poem, first performed at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance in 2021, will help anyone hoping to better understand the meaning of the poppy. With stunning and powerful illustrations from Sharon Rentta, Alive with Poppies is sure to become a family favourite. GBP0.50 from each copy sold goes to support the Royal British Legion Engaging rhyming text Communicates an important message. Tomos Roberts - who performs as Tomfoolery - explains the history and the importance of the poppy symbol from the First World War to the present day. Alive with Poppies strikes a chord with young readers wondering how the poppy came to be such an important symbol.
