This story is a bout a grandmother who is suffering from memory loss. Her granddaughter, Margaret is confused and needs to be reassured that even though her grandma can't remember things she still loves her family. This is a touching book that would be great to introduce to children that are going through the same thing with their older family members.
Nämä lapsille suunnatut, muistisairaudesta kertovat kirjat ovat kyllä erittäin riipaisevia ja kaihoisaa luettavaa. Toisaalta olen äärettömän onnellinen, että näin vaikeaa asiaa voi käsitellä sadun kautta. Kirjan kuvitus oli sopivan herkkää aiheeseen liittyen.
A great book to help children and families dealing with those that have Alzheimers or dementia. I love how the story ended and how their is a recipe at the end of the book.
A young girl shares many things with her grandmother: a love of music, taking walks and baking pies. Grandma is getting older, though, and is starting to have trouble remembering things. Throughout the story, grandma's illness progresses from simply mixing things up (the names of flowers) to mistakenly going into a neighbour's house and forgetting her grand-daughter's name. A sensitive and melancholy book that explores the feelings a young child may have as they experience the progressive dement...
Book Title: Remember, Grandma?Author/Illustrator: Laura Langston/ Lindsey GardinerReading Level: 2.6Book Level: This would depend on the individual student. In general, I would say that because of the content/theme/ideas of the book, that I would rate this as being between second grade through fifth or sixth grade. This text could be appropriate, though, to introduce a middle schooler to this sensitive topic. Book Summary: "Remember, Grandma" written by Laura Langston and beautifully illustrated...
Alzheimer's is a tough topic to tackle in a kids' book, but I think the author did a great job. I started bawling as I read this though and scared my daughter...It think it would be a good book for those dealing with this illness in their own families.
Que ternura de libro, tan importante que los niños conozca. Las signos que pueden observar en las personas de edad mayor que van perdiendo la memoria. Incluso las enseñanzas de sus padres al paso de las circunstancias acompañados de la abuelita. Hace que ellos entiendan mejor la situación. Me encantó.
Having watched my own grandma battle with Alzheimer's for the best part of a decade, this book really struck a chord with me. I think it would be a lovely way for a child to begin to understand Alzheimer's or any other kind of dementia
What a touching book about a young girl and her grandmother's experience with Alzheimers.
This book touched me deeply. I am very cloose with my grandmother and share many interests with her and she is infact getting older and has been a little forgetful lately. This is a great book for a child who is experiencing the same type of situations. Getting old is difficult but it is a part of life and children need to learn that these things happen in old age.
*3.5
This book was a little different than what I thought it was going to be. It's about a little girl whose grandma has either dementia or the onset of Alzheimer. I would recommend this book to parents who have a parent of their own going through this to help explain to their children what is happening. It ends very happily because the grandma remembers who her granddaughter is and then the granddaughter realizes that she is the reason she remembers what happens. Overall a little depressing book, bu...
Hermosa y conmovedora historia sobre el cariño que jamás de se olvida, porque no se lleva en la frágil mente sino en el corazón.
Wonderful portrayl of dementia through the eyes of a young child.Unfortunately we were only able to find ONE copy in only ONE library in the whole of NSW, Australia.This book should be widely available to help children understand the issues that face their loved ones,and to help them understand the feelings they have about the changes.My daughter is 8 and wonders daily what is happening with her Nanna (who lives with us, as does the Margaret's Grandma in 'Remember, Grandma?') and feels guilt, fr...
Happily sloppy artwork and perfectly picked words and pace present the first-person ponderings of a young girl as her once spunky grandmother slips into forgetfulness in this sweet, sad tale of coping and compassion.More grandmothers on JOMB: The Grandmother Doll Getting to Know Ruben Plotnick When-I-Was-a-Little-Girl The Gardener The Lotus Seed Snow Sourpuss and Sweetie Pie Treasure For Lunch Falling Angels The Clay Ladies Healing the Wounds of World War II A Gift For Gita Carmine, A Little Mor...
Words can not describe the way i felt after reading this beautiful book. I have nothing but praise for the soft and curvaceous illustrations, the charming words used and the beautiful portrayal of such a saddening illness. This touching story encaptures the relationship between a Grandma and Granddaughter. The story is from the young Granddaughters point of view and thus this makes the narrative even more touching. We are taken on a journey to hear about all the things they love to do together a...
Remember, Grandma?:This book touched my heart in a soft spot, because I had a grandmother who started losing her memory before she passed away. This book first appealed to me because I was close with my grandparents and I figured I would enjoy the book. I enjoyed the book immensely, but it definitely hit home for me. I think this is a great book to maybe show a child who might be going through a tough situation like this with one of their grandparents. This book can show that child that is okay
Summary: a little girl tells a tale of her grandmother that is losing her memory. The granddaughter comments on examples of times the grandmother might remember, but won’t remember the next time around. The little girl gives explicit detail to her grandmother’s quirks and traits for the readers to find charming. It portrays a tough topic, like Alzheimer’s or Dementia, in a lighthearted way for other young children to possibly understand and not fear. 2. Reading Level: Fluent3. Genre: Fictional4....
So sad! This is a great little easy picture book dealing with an elderly person whose memory is not the way it was. The loss of memory is difficult for kids to fully understand and this cute read expresses the hurt it may cause but overall still maintaining a great relationship. It was pretty sad for me to read since I had a great Aunt that was like this and I was that little girl who wondered why she kept asking who I was, but she was a sweet old lady and enjoyed keeping us entertained with cra...
