My Daddy Forgets Things by Celisa Bonner
Children may not be familiar with Alzheimer’s disease, especially if their grandparents have normal aging. But what if a parent is diagnosed with Early-onset Alzheimer’s disease?
In My Daddy Forgets Things, Celisa Bonner writes a heart-warming story about a little boy’s journey in learning about his father’s diagnosis. Even though his father does not look sick, he has a disease in his brain that medication cannot heal.
As you share this story with young children, they will learn that even though their parents may forget things, they will always love them. This story is a reminder that when a family supports and loves one another, they are able to get through a difficult time.
