BOOKS
A Child's Book for Understanding Alzheimer's
When illness brings changes,
connections through love remain the same.
"Parents will find this kind and gentle picture book a perfect way to open a conversation with young children about a grandparent's memory loss." - Booklife, Editor's Pick
"A sweet tale of two girls growing to understand their grandmother's illness."
- Kirkus Reviews
"This is a fantastic book that helps children and adults engage empathetically. As a licensed professional counselor, I have used this book as a tool to help families explain memory loss to young children. It presents the information in a way that helps parents explain the difficult facts of Alzheimer's. This book also does a wonderful job if illustrating the unconditional love of a pet towards family members, and vice versa. I highly recommend this book!" --Jennifer Butzen, Licensed Professional Counselor, Director, Attento Counseling, Cumming, Georgia
"I highly recommend this beautiful book that deals with memory illness in a sensitive way. I read this story with my 4-year-old and we were able to talk about my own grandparent's struggle with Alzheimer's disease. This book made us laugh, and it actually made me shed a happy tear as the family dog, Begonia, is a lovely hero. I will definitely recommend this book for other families with children effected by Alzheimer's disease." --Allyson Rutherford, Elementary Teacher/Librarian, Bristol Tennessee City Schools
"Who Will Hear Begonia is a touching story about a family's love for an elderly grandmother who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. The book not only teaches kids about the effects of Alzheimer's in a way that they can understand, it also reminds us of the recuperative and restorative powers of the love of a pet. I highly recommend this book to any family with children dealing with a similar situation and seeks a book that can help the kids comprehend this illness." --Richard A. Siler, Library Associate, Fulton County Library System, Atlanta, Georgia
Proceeds from this book are donated to
Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation.
