As a social worker in long-term care, I see this being an incredibly useful tool in helping families navigate the changes in a loved one that memory loss causes. As a mother of young children, who recently lost a grandmother due to Dementia, I can truly say that a book like this would have been of great benefit to both myself and my children

Author Dr. Kathrine Yusuf brings to light the difficulty children and adults face when handling memory loss in loved ones. With captivating, comforting text plus vibrant illustrations, this children’s book helps families, teachers, and counselors open discussion. It offers opportunity to share in simple language what we can do when a family member or friend is diagnosed or lives with dementia and memory loss.

Valuable ‘Question & Activity’ pages extend the learning for home or classroom use. They help the child participate as they learn what they can do and expect.

This story is based on a real family’s experiences helping a small child understand and cope with a grandparent with dementia.
