Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Illustrated by Larry Johnson. Nine-year-old Tamika Jordan dreads visiting her grandmother at the nursing home. Momma Lou has Alzheimer's and always forgets who Tamika is. After her father shows her Momma Lou's scrapbooks, Tamika comes up with an idea to jog Momma Lou's memory. She reaches her grandmother when Momma Lou recognises a newspaper clipping of a Civil Rights demonstration and leads everybody in a celebration of song. A moving story of love and hope, this is a book to be shared by the whole family. Ages 6-10.
Nine-year-old Tamika uses photographs, school yearbooks, movie ticket stubs, and other mementos to try to restore the memory of her grandmother, who has Alzeheimer's disease.
