I picked up this really sweet book called “Lest We Forget” by Kerry Brown.
It’s about a little boy talking to his Grandpa about important days in his life, playing soccer with his team, new uniform on the first day at school…… and through the beautiful illustrations you see the parallel story of his Grandpas time at war, with his “team” in the trenches, wearing his soldiers uniform.
We’ve had 7 billion questions this morning about the story, and how it makes her feel, and what she thinks it means which is EXACTLY what we read books for right?
It’s available online here or you can grab a copy from Kmart or Target (online or instore)
