"A reminder, through the story of a little boy and his grandma, that love is unforgettable"
Kathleen has a visitor, a little boy called George. They spend a lovely afternoon playing in the garden, dancing and singing together. When Kathleen gets confused, and can’t do up her buttons or remember where she is, George helps her and the one thing Kathleen will never forget is just how much she loves her grandson.
It’s a poignant story, beautifully told. George’s loving and cheerful acceptance of his grandma’s forgetfulness will be reassuring for young readers, though many will recognise first-hand the effects of dementia. Raquel Catalina’s painterly illustrations catch the mood and the relationship between the two characters perfectly. Though the story will help children understand a disease that affects so many old people, this is also a sensitive, timeless and convincing depiction of love.
Phyllis and Grace by Nigel Gray and Bethan Welby also gently helps children to understand dementia.
