Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Why Can't Grandma Remember My Name? explains Alzheimer's disease in a way for parents and families to share with a younger audience what is happening to Grandma or other loved ones afflicted by the disease. The book also integrates artwork created by children juxtaposed with art created by Alzheimer's patients, demonstrating the power of art therapy for all ages. All royalties benefit the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation in the quest to find a cure.
"Artwork created by Kindergarten and first grade students at Little Kinderartists (Rochester, New York) and Opening Minds through Art (Scripps Gerontology Center at Miami University in Ohio), an organization that promotes social engagement, autonomy, and dignity of people with Alzheimer's disease and dementia by providing creative self-expression opportunities through art."--Title page verso.
This book explains Alzheimer's disease to children in a simple and meaningful way, and features illustrations by children side-by-side with illustrations by adults with Alzheimer's in order to help children learn how the mind interprets the world.
