Alive with Poppies

Each autumn, a small red flower begins to appear.
It flourishes at a time when others do not. But what does it mean?
And why do people wear it?
Alive with poppies for Remembrance,
We all fall
silent at the hour.
But what’s the meaning
of this moment?
Why do so many wear a flower?

Tomos Roberts' moving poem, first performed at the Royal British
Legion Festival of Remembrance in 2021, will help anyone hoping
to better understand the meaning of the poppy. With stunning
and powerful illustrations from Sharon Rentta, Alive with
Poppies is sure to become a family favourite.

important symbol.
