Riley loves spending time with her grandparents, but after visiting them one day, she notices Grandma doesn't recognize her.

This uplifting and touching story encourages young readers to support and care for the elderly with love, patience and understanding. Written as a series of diary entries, Grandma, It's Me! also encourages journaling as a way to process emotions and feelings in order to become resilient to face life's many challenges. An Activity Pack (including reading comprehension questions, project ideas, templates, coloring pages and more) is also available for download at https: //bit.ly/yychan_grandma Foreword by Teresa B.K.Tsien (Gerontologist Hong Kong Alzheimer's Disease Association Board Member) "...The story was written with a dash of humor and lots of love from a child's perspective. It helps to take away some of the mystery, and reminds us that even though the disease has changed the mind and body, the person with dementia is still there, and still loves us. She has illustrated an important message that people with dementia might not remember the events, but they will always remember the feelings that they experienced... I highly recommend this book to families and schools." Recommended and Endorsed by Dementia and Alzheimer's Professionals and Families on the Dementia Journey "A very sweet way to present the challenges a loved one faces when someone dear to them is going through this disease. I found that many aspects of dementia / Alzhei- mer's were touched upon. I see this process every day in my profession. One of my very favorite sayings is "to love them through it". This is a shining example of doing just that-loving someone through it." - Cindy Swanda LPN Memory Support Director, Fremont, Nebraska, USA "... The book has been a blessing for me-I think for the past two years taking care of my mom, I sometimes have a picture in my mind that is full of grey-and oh so dreary! This has lifted my spir- it up and I find that nowadays, even when I think of my mom, the picture has become more colorful." - Serene Low, Singapore Five Star Reviews from Readers' Favorite "... Grandma, It's Me! A Children's Book about Dementia, is a caring, compassionate way to teach young readers about memory loss and how they can help... Young readers will certainly connect with Riley's feelings as she deals with a difficult and confusing situation affecting someone she loves. The power of love shines through this touching story. Beautifully told." - Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite "... 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... I loved this book and highly recommend it for young and old alike." - Vernita Naylor for Readers' Favorite

Born in the mid-Victorian era, Jeannie Fox shuns her Quaker heritage to take an unusual, circuitous journey through life. Her ambition to become a teacher is realized but societal norms and laws force her to give up teaching when she marries. After having two children she begins to question her obligations and rights as a wife and joins a religious-scientific cult and commune in Chicago in part to escape her uncomfortable marriage. When she is threatened with losing her daughters, she leaves the commune and resumes her career as a teacher but maintains allegiance to the cult leader and his followers. A temptation to rejoin the commune is not as strong as the attraction to move to Oregon's Hood River Valley and become a fruit rancher. Relations become stressed with her oldest daughter over her younger sister's choice of a husband and lifestyle. A life-long dream to take a world tour turns into tragedy forcing her home prematurely to face the consequences and the remainder of her life.

“Blackness is an art, not a science. It is a paradox: intangible and visceral; a situation and a story. It is the thread that connects these essays, but its significance as an experience emerges randomly, unpredictably. . . . Race is the story of my life, and therefore black is the body of this book.” In these twelve deeply personal, connected essays, Bernard details the experience of growing up black in the south with a family name inherited from a white man, surviving a random stabbing at a New Haven coffee shop, marrying a white man from the North and bringing him home to her family, adopting two children from Ethiopia, and living and teaching in a primarily white New England college town. Each of these essays sets out to discover a new way of talking about race and of telling the truth as the author has lived it. "Black Is the Body is one of the most beautiful, elegant memoirs I've ever read. It's about race, it's about womanhood, it's about friendship, it's about a life of the mind, and also a life of the body. But more than anything, it's about love. I can't praise Emily Bernard enough for what she has created in these pages." --Elizabeth Gilbert WINNER OF THE CHRISTOPHER ISHERWOOD PRIZE FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL PROSE NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND KIRKUS REVIEWS ONE OF MAUREEN CORRIGAN'S 10 UNPUTDOWNABLE READS OF THE YEAR
