Grandad keeps forgetting more and more, and I worry that soon … he will forget me too.

But I know that he loves me and we can still have lots of fun, even if our treasured times together will only stay in my memories.

My Review

What a beautiful and moving story. Granddad is starting to forget things, like the route to places he’s been visiting for years, and the words to songs. Soon it seems that granddad is forgetting more and more.

He can’t recollect the things he knew the day before. What if granddad forgets her? Will he still love her?

Mummy tells her not to worry, that you can still have fun together, and even though he may forget, it will still be in your memory.

I personally have no experience of dementia, but for those who do, this is such a wonderful way to explain to children how it can affect them and their relationship with an older relative. I hope it never affects me or my loved ones, but this book is there if it ever does.

Congratulations to Nadine for writing something so poignant and meaningful.
