Summary: "My granddad says there are two types of days: those you want to remember and those you want to forget ..." A young boy visits his granddad and thinks about the important days in his life: his first day of school, playing soccer with his team, the day his baby sister was born. Yet through the illustrations the reader sees a parallel story of the grandfather's experiences at war: wearing his brand-new soldier's uniform, with his fellow diggers in the field, looking at a photo of the baby he's never met. This powerful story about a boy and his grandfather will help even the very young understand the significance and importance of national days of remembrance
