He had one question. She had all the time in the world to answer it.Why do we wear a poppy? Little Sawatis has never thought about it before. But when he sees his Tóta pinning one to her coat, he asks - and Tóta sits down, takes his hand, and gives him the most honest, most gentle answer she knows. What is war? Why did people go? Were they scared? Did they want to? And can I wear one too?
