LEST WE FORGETRemembrance Day Reading to Remember Stories for kids about conflict, hope and overcoming adversity Proud as a Peacock, Brave as a Lion By Jane Barclay, illustrator Renee Benoit Books about war and remembrance that are aimed at young children are rare. � is gentle story uses a grandfa- ther's connection with his young grandchild as a vehicle for explaining these complex subjects. A photograph of his grandfather as a young man in uniform, prompts questions from the child. His grandpa recalls being proud as a pea- cock in uniform, as busy as a beaver on his Atlantic crossing, and brave as a lion charging into battle. � e animal imagery helps the child to consider di� erent aspects of wartime. Before attending the Remembrance Day service, he pins medals on his grandpa's blazer and receives his own red poppy in return. Grandpa lays a wreath in memory of his lost friend and the two promise to be like elephants and to never forget.
