Still My Grandma

Still My Grandma by Van den Abeele, Véronique. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780802853233.

Camille and her grandma have a special friendship. They have sleepovers, bake chocolate cupcakes together, go out shopping, and giggle at old photographs. But one day Grandma forgets Camilles name. Then she cant remember where to put her shoes. Camille learns that her grandma is sick, but "not the kind where you cough and blow your nose." Grandma has Alzheimers disease, which is what makes her do strange things. And even though Grandma has to move out of her house and rely on nurses to care for her, Camille finds a way to continue their special traditions. With charming, sensitive illustrations, this story gently introduces young readers to the realities of Alzheimers disease, and reminds them that love is more powerful than any illness can be.
