(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Layne Johnson. Georgia teacher Moina Belle Michael, instrumental in supporting the troops during WWI, helped make the red poppy the national symbol of their sacrifice; she developed a fundraising program making and selling artificial red poppy flowers. Her legacy is retold in this slightly verbose narrative picture-book biography illustrated with realistic, luminous double-page-spread oil paintings. Appended notes provide more detailed historical background. Bib.
