Sometimes he even forgets that he is in America now. Chersheng feels sad and helpless when he learns that Grandfather has Alzheimers Disease, but then Chershengs mother presents him with a story cloth stitched by Grandfather himself, embroidered in the Hmong tradition.\nThrough the story cloth, Grandfathers memories of his life in Laos come alive. And inspired by Grandfathers tales about his life before the war forced him to immigrate to America, Chersheng comes up with a plan to capture his familys new life with his own art project. This way, they can all remember that their love is stronger than Alzheimers Disease, no matter in which country they live.\nLinda Gerdners heartwarming story addresses the increasing number of children who live with elderly grandparents with dementia. This volume, presented bilingually in English and Hmong, allows children and their loved ones not only to gain a compassionate understanding of Alzheimers Disease, but also to share in the simplest act of pleasure and love -- that of reading together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lee \u0026 Low Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113684590645,"sku":"ByrdShop_1885008341","price":58.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781885008343_680899dd-45a4-4b4b-93f7-ca0d2c5d7fb9.jpg?v=1781212046","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/grandfathers-story-cloth-9781885008343","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
