This book has three (3) objectives: To sensitize children about aging grandparents and help them grasp the changes they don't understand especially for those who have grandparents diagnosed with Dementia/Alzheimer's Disease. To open the door for conversations between parents and children when trying to explain the changes they witness as a loved one battles with Dementia/Alzheimer's Disease or a similar cognitively degenerative diagnosis. To create some comfort in understanding that the change is not subjective to the child and their grandparent's behavior is not entirely subjective to a reaction to them, their words or their deeds.Enjoy.Written, Illustrated & Conceptualized by: Kellee-Ann Wilson




My Little Grandmother Often Forgets


Book Description

A child’s love for a grandmother with memory loss shines through in this deeply personal and lyrical tale from author Reeve Lindbergh. Sometimes Tom’s grandmother forgets the way home from the market, or that Tom’s name is Tom and not Roy. But Tom doesn’t mind. He loves to help his grandmother and just spend time with her. The special bond between a beloved grandmother affected by memory loss and her devoted grandson is described in Reeve Lindbergh’s most personal book for children, one that is based on her own and her son’s relationship with her mother in the last years of her life. Kathryn Brown’s watercolor illustrations tenderly capture the unique characters — and the love that is universal.

Gotta Remember! Grandma Forgets


Book Description

Why is grandma acting so weird? How come grandpa doesn't know me anymore? Did grandma get lost? Why is grandpa so angry? It's so difficult watching that family member who was once sharp, energetic, and wise become a stranger--distant and forgetful. It's even more difficult trying to explain what's going on to a child when you can't fully wrap your own mind around it. Alzheimer's and dementia can be so hard on a family. It is hard on the adults and has to be confusing and stressful for a child. This children's book can open up dialogue about these conditions and the transition that family members, especially grandparents, may go through. In many situations, kids become a part of the caregiving process and that can cause great anxiety if they are not prepared for what's to come. As a counselor, as well as someone who has experienced this with my mom and other family members, I encourage you to prepare your kids for some of the alarming changes that their loved-ones might experience. I hope this book can be used as a simplified resource for children, families, or counselors to get kids through the tough times ahead.
