An adventurous and inspiring story of a wise wizard and his elf friend on an adventure to collect ingredients for a magical potion, facing many challenges on the way, all is not as it seems. The story is a metaphor representing how doing a task that is considered simple for most, such as making a cup of tea, can be very challenging for someone living with Dementia.
Need help explaining to your children the effects of Dementia? The book represents dementia without reducing a person to negative stigmas attached to the disease, and instead the book was written with the aim to portray dementia in a friendly, approachable and positive light, presented in a way in which children can learn about the disease and the effects that it can have on a person, in a more honest depiction. The book helps both children and adults to recognise how their actions can impact in different ways.
As a whole, the book presents themes of:- love
- patience
- care
- understanding
- adventure
The book is inspired by the author's grandad, who was diagnosed with dementia in his later years.
The illustrations within the story are created by photographing hand-made puppets and sets, made with love. Making this an unusually gorgeous and intriguing picture book like no other! With full-colour vibrant pages throughout.
