In Flanders fields, young Martens knows his family's story, for it is as precious as the faded poem hanging in their home. From a poor girl comforting a grieving soldier, to an unexpected meeting of strangers, to a father's tragic death many decades after treaties were signed, war has shaped Martens's family in profound ways – it is their history as much as any nation's.

They remember. They grieve. They honour the past.

Critic reviews

'Poppy Field is a beautiful reminder of how thankful we should be for the bravery and sacrifice of previous generations.' (Tes magazine)
'Inspired by John McCrae’s war poem In Flanders Fields, this poignant story is ideal to share with young children to promote discussion about the impact of war and the nature of remembrance.' (BookTrust)
