My Grandpa
by Marta Altés
We see a grandpa bear and his grandchild go on many adventures, but the grandchild points out throughout the book that their grandpa is getting old and we do see the challenges here. The grandpa either has Alzheimer's or dementia, resulting in them getting lost or forgetting who their grandchild is from time to time. Readers will enjoy the playful illustrations in the face of a tough topic and the emphasis on the importance of love. However, there isn't representation of the anger and frustration that those suffering from Alzheimer's or dementia express, which could give an idealized picture where the grandchild makes everything better with love and hugs. Conversations will need to follow with the child, but this book will help facilitate that.
For: readers wanting a book to help discuss old age, Alzheimer's, or dementia.
Possible red flags: an aging loved one; Alzheimer's or dementia (not being recognized by a loved one).
