What a great story! Alzheimer’s is an invasive disease that can rip the minds of the people we love away from us like a greedy thief in the night. Explaining to a child that someone who looks the same as they always had physically, isn’t mentally, can be a tall order, and I wouldn’t know where to start.

Both brilliant and educational, author Paulette Bochnig Sharkey shares with us the ingenuity of a child as Kiera comes up with a creative solution to bonding with her changing grandmother.

Included at the end of the story is a page that explains to parents how best to help their children understand Alzheimer’s, making this book an absolute treasure for those in need.

This was a lovely story that showed how relationships can change because of Alzheimer's Disease and how people with Alzheimer's can be reached through music or visits from pets. This story is written in a thoughtful way that children can understand. I would recommend this book for helping children understand a grandparent who is dealing with memory loss. ( )
