This book offers so many wonders in learning about the journey of loved ones living with dementia or Alzheimer's and those who care for them... Since dementia and Alzheimer's are occurring in many homes, children need to have the tools and a better understanding of what is happening right before their eyes... It can become tiring as Riley witnessed, but with helping her grandma to tap into music, photos, and sharing other memories, this journey can become a beautiful experience. I loved this book and highly recommend it for young and old alike."– Vernita Naylor for Readers' Favorite
