Reviews / Votes
This sweet little story will resonate with any child who has an older family member prone to having their own 'forgetting days'. It would start a conversation about dementia and how important memories are, and that the person you love who starts to forget things is still that person you love. -- Wendy Kelly, teacher * ReadingZone * It was a really gentle and kind introduction to showing how older people can forget things but that it's ok and they are still the same person. -- Mumum, read to Nara, aged 5 * Toppsta Review *More details
