Grandma - Written and illustrated by Jessica Shepherd
A beautiful, moving book, with wonderful illustrations.
Oscar loves Grandma, and their time together is always lots of fun. As
she becomes less able to look after herself, she has to go into a care
home. More and more children are encountering dementia and its effects
on their families. This touching story, told in Oscar’s own words, is a
positive and practical tale about the experience. The factual page about
dementia helps children talk about
their feelings and find new ways to enjoy the changing relationship.
Jessica Shepherd’s sensitive first picture book has grown out of her
experiences in a variety of caring roles.
