Hanna and her nanna were picking flowers. We must have some Rosemary, said Nanna, breaking off some pieces from a green bush with little blue flowers. Rosemary is for remembrance, and tomorrow is Anzac Day.
As Hanna helps her nanna make a wreath, she learns why Anzac Day is a special day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand. What will they do with the wreath? Who are these soldiers in Nannas album, and where did these medals come from?
