Overview

Who are the people who offered their lives in war? Why did they do this? Why do we remember them? And how? For children learning about remembrance and the human toll of war, these can be hard questions to answer. Complicating things more, remembrance takes a great number of forms -- private and public, official and unofficial, religious and secular. This book is meant as a guide to answering the tricky questions kids ask about Remembrance Day. Canada has developed unique ways of honouring and demonstrating respect for its war dead and veterans. In one generation or another, most Canadian families have lost loved ones in war. On Remembrance Day presents the origins, traditions, and customs of Canada's Remembrance Day in a fashion that is engaging and easy to read.
