Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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.
"First published in Australia by Scholastic Press, a division of Scholastic Australia Pty Limited in 2015."
A little girl, Georgie, visits her grandfather in the nursing home where he is suffering from memory loss, and manages to reconnect with him when they make newspaper hats for everyone.
