Synopsis Grandma, It's Me! by : Y. Y. Chan

Riley loves spending time with her grandparents, but after visiting them one day, she notices Grandma doesn't recognize her. Mommy explains that Grandma may have dementia, so her memory isn't as good as it used to be. Riley tries her best to help Grandma remember and writes about their time together in her diary. This uplifting and touching story encourages young readers to support and care for the elderly with love, patience and understanding. Written as a series of diary entries, Grandma, It's Me! also encourages journaling as a way to process emotions and feelings in order to become resilient to face life's many challenges. An Activity Pack (including reading comprehension questions, project ideas, templates, coloring pages and more) is also available for download at https: //bit.ly/yychan_grandma Foreword by Teresa B.K.Tsien (Gerontologist Hong Kong Alzheimer's Disease Association Board Member) "...The story was written with a dash of humor and lots of love from a child's perspective. It helps to take away some of the mystery, and reminds us that even though the disease has changed the mind and body, the person with dementia is still there, and still loves us. She has illustrated an important message that people with dementia might not remember the events, but they will always remember the feelings that they experienced... I highly recommend this book to families and schools." Recommended and Endorsed by Dementia and Alzheimer's Professionals and Families on the Dementia Journey "A very sweet way to present the challenges a loved one faces when someone dear to them is going through this disease. I found that many aspects of dementia / Alzhei- mer's were touched upon. I see this process every day in my profession. One of my very favorite sayings is "to love them through it". This is a shining example of doing just that-loving someone through it." - Cindy Swanda LPN Memory Support Director, Fremont, Nebraska, USA "... The book has been a blessing for me-I think for the past two years taking care of my mom, I sometimes have a picture in my mind that is full of grey-and oh so dreary! This has lifted my spir- it up and I find that nowadays, even when I think of my mom, the picture has become more colorful." - Serene Low, Singapore Five Star Reviews from Readers' Favorite "... Grandma, It's Me! A Children's Book about Dementia, is a caring, compassionate way to teach young readers about memory loss and how they can help... Young readers will certainly connect with Riley's feelings as she deals with a difficult and confusing situation affecting someone she loves. The power of love shines through this touching story. Beautifully told." - Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite "... This book offers so many wonders in learning about the journey of loved ones living with dementia or Alzheimer's and those who care for them... I loved this book and highly recommend it for young and old alike." - Vernita Naylor for Readers' Favorite

Synopsis A Gift for Nana by : Lane Smith

Two-time Caldecott Honor author/illustrator Lane Smith tells a whimsical story about a little rabbit searching for the best gift for someone very special. A thoughtful little Rabbit sets out to find the perfect gift for his Nana. He knows she will love anything he brings her but Rabbit wants this gift to be extra special. As he travels on his quest, Rabbit encounters an assortment of creatures-a crow, a smiling full moon, a stickler (whatever that is), a big fish, and a volcano. Each is certain they offer the best advice but nothing they suggest seems right for his Nana. It's not until Rabbit reaches the highest peak, that he finds exactly what he's been searching for. The award -winning illustrator of bestsellers including Penguin Problems and Giraffe Problems, brings originality and gentle humor to a story that parents and grandparents will be sharing with their children for years to come.
