What's Happening to Grandpa? By Maria Shriver
"Maria Shriver presents a timely, touching story that inspires, guides, and educates--and encourages readers to open their eyes to the memories and the love that our elderly loved ones have to offer. Kate has always adored her grandpa's storytelling, but lately he's been repeating the same stories again and again. One day, he even forgets Kate's name. Her mother's patient explanations open Kate's eyes to what so many of the elderly must confront: Alzheimer's disease and other forms of memory loss. Determined to support her grandfather, Kate explores ways to help him--and herself--cope by creating a photo album of their times together, memories that will remain in their hearts forever." |
Grandma's Cobwebs By Ann Frantti
"Claire's parents teach her facts about Alzheimer's Disease. They don't, however, pay much attention to how Claire is feeling about the changes in her grandmother's behavior. Claire tells her friends silly stories about Grandma to make them laugh. Afterwards she feels guilty, gets in a fight and is grounded. While she is grounded, Claire realizes that Grandma, who was the best grandmother in the world before she developed Alzheimer's Disease, is still the best grandmother in the world. Grandma's Cobwebs helps children understand the physical and emotional aspects of Alzheimer's Disease. Grandma's Cobwebs, also, introduces the Three R's of Alzheimer's Disease: Relax, Remember and Respect." |
