5.0
Full review on Mama Bear Reads
When a loved one is diagnosed with such a complicated disease, it can be especially hard on the little ones who have no way of grasping what is going on. This is certainly so when it comes to the symptoms of diseases like Alzheimer's and Dementia.
In Kathryn Harrison's book, "Weeds in Nana's Garden" , she does an amazing job of illustrating the the effects of Alzheimer's on a loved one, in a way that anyone can truly understand.
Through vivid and colorful illustrations (seriously, there is NO white space in this book. It's absolutely breathtaking.), she tells the story of a granddaughter realizing that beloved Nana is going through some serious changes.
"Weeds in Nana's Garden" is a real story of hope in the midst of a heartbreaking trial.
I pray that you will never need such a resource, but if you're ever stuck trying to show or explain to your children why grandma doesn't recognize them, or why grandpa seems more forgetful than usual-this is a beautiful tool to use.
