Bookroo's summary

Cathy notices something is different about Grandpa; he forgets simple words and memories. As Grandpa's early-onset dementia progresses, Cathy and her family embark on a journey to understand the disease and find ways to connect with him. Can they discover what still holds meaning for Grandpa and reassure him of their love? This heartfelt story explores the challenges and enduring bonds of family in the face of memory loss.

From the publisher

An emotional and necessary tale about early-onset dementia to help kids understand the disease and to understand that even though their loved ones might not remember who they are, they still love them. For children ages 7 years and up.

Something is different about Grandpa. He forgets things very easily–he even forgets what simple words mean. Grandpa can remember a lot from his childhood, but his granddaughter, Cathy, knows that something is wrong. Join Cathy and her family as they learn about early-onset dementia and find things that Grandpa will hold dear, just like his dear girl, Cathy.
