A new illustrated story celebrating the poppy's history.

  Michael Morpurgo and Michael Foreman have teamed
  up with the Royal British Legion to tell an original story
  that explains the meaning behind the poppy.


  In Flanders' fields, young Martens knows his family's story, for
  it is as precious as the faded poem hanging in their home. From
  a poor girl comforting a grieving soldier, to an unexpected meeting
  of strangers, to a father's tragic death many decades after
  treaties were signed, war has shaped Martens's family in profound
  ways - it is their history as much as any nation's.


  They remember.

They grieve. They honour the past.

This book also includes a full-colour, illustrated afterword
  that explains the history that inspired the story.
