This book is a gentle opener to the subject of Alzheimer's for children. As a photographer, this book especially resonated and I turned each page breathlessly.

Delicate look at Alzheimer’s disease and its effects on the one who is sick as well as those left behind. This is a much needed book about a disease that is complicated enough for adults to understand.

Picture book. My dad has Alzheimer's, so this was tough for me, but I guess it gives you an idea of what a person struggling with this may be thinking.

A gut puncher for anyone who's dealt with the tragedy of Alzheimer's.

Dad comes home with a film camera and starts taking pictures, getting them printed out, and putting the photos on the windows. But he doesn't take pictures of the family, and the mom is sad about that. Then Dad is gone and only the pictures are left. The family realizes that Dad took pictures so the family won't forget him.
