Description
A beautifully illustrated, beautifully written book for children that teaches them about dementia in a realistic, yet simple way.--Wendy Mitchell, author of Somebody I Used to Know
Beautifully written and thoughtfully presented. This important book equips both children and adults with the means to understand and talk about what could otherwise be a mysterious and distressing subject.--Andy Griffiths, childrens author, Australia
This book does so well at simplifying but not disguising dementia, and explains in a respectful and understanding way the sorts of changes a person with dementia might experience. It also helps kids to get the support they need.--Takaya Honda, ABC Playschool, Neighbours
This is a great book. Thoughtfully written and beautifully illustrated, it will help children better understand dementia and make it easier for adults explain to children the behavioural changes that can occur when a much loved family member has dementia.--Ita Buttrose AO OBE, Ambassador Dementia Australia; 2013 Australian of the Year
