Led by the Tiny Professors, Kayla, age four, and Sebastian, age five and a quarter, Every Day is Funday with Grandma Stella helps children understand what dementia and Alzheimer's is about, and how to still enjoy being with Grandma. The book is beautifully illustrated with a storyline and activities that will engage young readers. It provides an invaluable guide for creating a memory keepsake with Grandma that can be shared with younger generations for years to come. It will also help adults who are dealing with the often-complicated feelings about having a loved one with memory deficits.
The book was created by Dr. Linda Ganzenmuller, a psychologist who focuses on senior citizens, their families, and caregivers, in consultation with Joan Motley, another expert in dealing with dementia. It is the author's hope that it will provide greater understanding, acceptance, and a heightened ability to cope with this challenging diagnosis and help people with dementia leave behind a legacy of cherished memories.
