- Synopsis
- A touching, age-appropriate and uplifting story about a loved one with Alzheimer's disease. Georgie visits her Grandpa at the retirement home where he lives, but he doesn&’t always remember who she is. Georgie sits with him as he sifts painstakingly through his remaining memories, finding points of commonality and companionship, until they come to a memory of her—and of newspaper hats, which Grandpa still remembers how to make! Together, they fold enough for all his friends. Touching moments in this beautifully-illustrated book portray the difficulties and nuances of memory loss from a child&’s perspective, and an uplifting ending leaves readers with hope. A poignant and age-appropriate story about a loved one with Alzheimer&’s disease.
