Natalie is a 9-year-old girl who loves her grandmother very much. When she visits her in the nursing home, Natalie realizes that grandma is just not herself that day. Learning that her grandmother has Alzheimer's disease confuses Natalie. She recalls how visits with grandma used to be when grandma was herself. Natalie dreads another visit; however, her second visit ends up being a memorable one for everybody. This picture book will help children understand how Alzheimer's can affect their grandparents and what they can do to be loving and supportive grandchildren. About the Author: Josie Aleardi Richards completed this book in loving memory of her mother, Angeline Aleardi, who suffered from Alzheimer's.
