About the Author

Christiana is a woman of faith who uses her belief as a guide as she and her staff provide daily care to individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. This is her first children’s book.

My Review
So many children have a grandparent with Dementia. It’s hard for children to understand Dementia and all the symptoms that come with it. Having a grandparent who suddenly can’t share their life with their grandchild is scary. This lovely book tells the story of a child and her family. She has a wonderful grandma who spends time with her baking and working in her garden. The girl’s family all love their grandparents. When Grandma starts getting confused and forgetting things, she’s taken to the doctor. The doctor says that she has Alzheimer’s and the family is very sad. The girl’s teacher lets her talk about her grandma in class and she finds out that many of her classmates’ grandparents also have Dementia. The girl feels better with this support, but she wants to do something special for her grandma. I think this book will benefit children so that they can understand Dementia and find ways to deal with it when it comes to their family.
