A Story of Remembrance Day: Teaching Kids the Meaning of Remembrance Day and Kindness
For ages 2-7 – Peace, Gratitude, and Poppies for Young Readers
Through gentle storytelling and engaging visuals, A Story of Remembrance Day helps young readers understand the importance of remembering those who sacrificed their lives for peace. Written in simple, age-appropriate language, this book offers a thoughtful introduction to World War I, the meaning of the red poppy flower, and the traditions we follow on November 11th each year.
Children will learn:
- What war means and why it’s not something we want.
- How people from different countries came together during World War I to protect others.
- Why do we wear red poppies as a symbol of remembrance and peace?
- The importance of staying silent for two minutes to honor those who served.
With a focus on gratitude, kindness, and hope for a peaceful future, this story encourages children to reflect on the values of respect and courage. The book’s interactive tone, such as asking questions like “Do you want to wear a red poppy flower too?”, “Let’s practice staying silent for 2 minutes. Close your eyes and think of something peaceful” helps engage young minds and makes the traditions of Remembrance Day meaningful and relatable.
Whether shared at home, in classrooms, or during community events, A Story of Remembrance Day is a perfect tool to spark conversations about history, empathy, and the importance of being a good human being.

The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History
Written by by Robert M. Edsel with Bret Witter
The Monuments Men tells the remarkable true story of the Allied men and women who risked their lives to save Europe’s greatest art treasures during World War II. As Adolf Hitler’s forces swept across Europe, the Nazis stole, hid, and planned to destroy priceless paintings, sculptures, books, and cultural artifacts.
Working behind enemy lines and often with little protection, a special group of museum directors, curators, art historians, architects, and scholars became known as the Monuments Men. Their mission was to locate and protect thousands of years of culture before it was lost forever.
Focusing on the months between D-Day and V-E Day, this gripping history blends war, art, danger, and courage. A fascinating read for fans of World War II history, art history, true adventure, and heroic rescue stories.
