My father-in-law began to show symptoms of Alzheimer’s back in 2009. In 2012 he had to live in a care facility. It was very sad to see someone decline into dementia and lose touch with reality. He died in 2018 at the age of 89.
I began to look for books on line that children could relate to that talked about Alzheimer’s disease. There were very few if any and none for younger children. I decided to write and illustrate a children’s book that would introduce children to dementia and the way it affects older people.
If you are interested please click the link and check it out on amazon.com kindle books. My granddaughter helped me with the color in the illustrations. If you have a kindle subscription you can read it for free.
Good for you! You saw a need and filled it. Let me check out your book on Amazon.
