"A helpful book for families affected by dementia" - CARERS UK
I love visiting my grandma. We read together, play her piano, feed the birds in the garden and we love looking through her big box of photos . . .
But when Grandma starts to forget who the people in the photographs are, Mum explains that Grandma is living with something called dementia. She says, "Grandma is still the person we know and love, she's just a little different now . . . "
A reassuring story about the love between a little girl and her grandma, with practical information to help young children understand dementia and the changes it can bring.
Bonus material to discuss with little ones includes:
- What is dementia?
- How you can help
- Looking after YOU
