Russell, Paul and Nicky Johnston Grandma Forgets. PICTURE
BOOK. EK Books (Exisle Publishing), 2017. $17.99.
Grandma is getting older and
does not remember things the way she did in the past. Despite that, her family
still enjoys being with her and making new memories. Grandma might not remember,
but they remember. Its a new situation, but one that is still okay when you are
with people you love.
I was immediately drawn to this book by its title and
cover. I love the soft and loving feeling to the illustrations--they are very
inviting and cheerful. The topic of a grandparent whose memory is slipping is
all too familiar to many, and I think this book tackles it in a way that will
help readers of all ages. Adults might find themselves shedding a tear over it,
and younger readers will enjoy the message and pictures for what they are.
Overall a great pick.
