Red poppies are blooming on jacket lapels, and the kids are asking what they mean. Sometimes it’€™s hard to help them understand what ‘€˜remembrance’€™ is all about. Bear on the Homefront, a beautifully illustrated children’€™s book, tells the true story of the guest children who came to live in Canada during WWII. It’€™s all told from the perspective of ‘€˜Teddy’€™, a beloved stuffed bear, and manages to talk about war in a way that is gentle, fascinating and educational. We’€™ll be sitting down to read both Bear on the Homefront and its prequel, A Bear in War, with our little ones this Remembrance Day. ($14.40, available at amazon.ca)
