Follow young Kate as she learns why Grandpa is becoming so forgetful and gains an understanding of his condition. This wise young lady questions not just what can be done about the changes Alzheimer's will bring, but also how she can help Grandpa as he goes through this difficult time. Together they go thru photographs and use his memories to create a scrapbook. This well-meaning book is clearly and lovingly written. Kate is admittedly "wise beyond her age," which serves the author well as the child becomes the voice of reason. Author: Maria Shriver

What we like best about this product: Alzheimer’s, dementia and forgetfulness in old age are hard enough for we adults to understand, much less a young child of only five or six. This book, featuring Kate, who herself is only (about) eight years old, explains this disease in words and ways a child can understand, emphasizing loving the man that Grandpa is and all the fun they have had together, rather than focusing on his current troubles remembering.
