Barbara E. WalshCritiques

Story of a woman's quest to honor and uplift veterans.

I would use this book to talk about biographys.

An admiring but overdone portrait of the Georgia schoolteacher who established the red poppy as the universal symbol of support for veterans and their families.

This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of "The Poppy Lady," Moina Belle Michael, and her support of veterans that began during the World War I. She worked to help soldiers before they left for war, after they returned, and started the tradition of distributing poppies to remember soldiers who died in war.
