This has special meaning for Shirley because she is a red poppy flower. She asks her grandparents to help with the essay and the creation of a new poppy lapel pin. This story is a gentle discovery of how poppies are honored to serve as companions to people in observing remembrance. It is a story of sharing special time with grandparents. It showcases Col. John McCrae's poem, In Flanders Fields, that inspired the use of red poppies and a new poem is offered at the end of the book. We also learn about Moina Michael and Anna Guerin, who started the use of red poppies as a symbol of remembrance. The poppy family joins the fun of a Memorial Day parade as it marches past the USAA Poppy Wall of Honor, a monument in Washington DC. It features over 600,000 red poppies representing U.S. service members who died in the line of duty since World War One. The poppy family attend a remembrance service at Washington National Cathedral. In the story, Shirley learns the unique way the American flag is hung on Memorial Day, and about laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cementery. This book is intended to help expand the understanding of remembrance in a 'rethink' remembrance way. This book introduces a new insight about remembrance with the term: Love can build a bridge of memory. As long as we remember people who gave their lives to keep our country safe, they never really leave us, and our love forms a kind of bridge between us. They feel close to us in our hearts, just over the bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 10 x 8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 30, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46593291485381,"sku":"9798995760207","price":43.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/DZFE-FeqeK9798995760207.webp?v=1785072280","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-little-poppy-who-learned-to-remember-us-edition-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
