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 neutron cells up close. It is a beautiful story 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.
