What happens when your very own grandma doesn’t know it’s your birthday? When a little girl’s beloved grandmother develops Alzheimer’s disease and can’t remember things, how does life go on? Hugging Grandma provides a positive example of how one child copes with a grandmother who has Alzheimer’s. Strengthened by the wonderful times they shared together, the child finds ways to help her grandmother still feel useful and needed. Dealing with a loved one with Alzheimer’s is hard on adults. It is even more difficult for children. Hugging Grandma is a lovely and comforting story that acknowledges what the child has lost while teaching positive ways to cope with the new situation.
