Why does granny forget things?
A trip to the brain!
In this story my little niece, along with her little cousin, a cat and a dog undertake a wonderful trip to their grandmother's brain to understand what happens there.
There they meet Mr. Hippocampus and see the neuron cells up close. It is a beautiful story, masterfully illustrated by Gustavo Desimone, where children learn that love, patience, and empathy are what their grandparents with cognitive problems need most.
This book also contains a guide that can be very useful for parents and guardians when talking to young children and adolescents about dementia.
The children's book has been awarded the Caligrama Talent Seal
and recommended by AlzAuthors as an educational and emotional tool for families.
Testimonials
“How do I explain to grandchildren in an empathetic and understanding way what it means that grandpa or grandma has dementia? And preferably in the form of a story, with an exciting adventure journey. Well, Julissa Cruz did a fantastic job! It’s a journey through the brain. Along those areas of the brain that are severely affected in dementia. This allows you to understand why memory loss occurs in dementia. And especially what people with dementia need most: understanding, empathy and love. Lots of love.
The story is a page-runner. The main characters are grandchildren's angels, with dogs and cats. You read it in one sitting. Because it is written with a lot of love for grandchildren and grandparents. And for enthusiasts, dementia is discussed in more detail in the second part of the story. It is precisely this combination that makes it unique.
Highly recommended! "
