My Review

Rating: 5 out of 5.

In this heartfelt story a little girl shares about her wonderful Grandma and the changes she’s going through. Get grandma has dementia and often forgets a lot. The little girl is saddened by this but decides that she will just continue showing her grandma how much she loves her. Dementia is hard for anyone to deal with, but imagine what a child thinks. It’s got to be so confusing for them. A great book to help children understand and cope with Dementia if they know someone who is suffering. The wonderful illustrations being this story together creating a phenomenal book!

About The Author

Evita’s passion is assisting the elderly, especially those living with dementia. Her mission is to help people age in the manner they envision for themselves and not through the lens of others. She works to provide data and resources to assist elders in effectively aging-in-place and equips their families and friends to support their loved ones amidst uncertainty.

Working in the elder care field as a licensed nursing home administrator, senior living marketing professional, and Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS), Evita witnesses both elders and families make tough decisions. Some of those decisions result in despair, while others result in healing. The key to enabling elders to live life to its fullest is to help them find their voices and exercise their right to choose.

Evita collaborates with family and friends to ensure that her mother, who lives with dementia, and her father, recently diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, maintain their voices and make well-informed choices as their disease progresses.
