I Remember

This beautiful picture book about the moving relationship between a small boy and his Grandmother, who is deeply into dementia, is memorable for both text and illustration. When he visits her each day, she doesn’t remember his name, but he knows that he can help her and that they are very close. He finds the biscuits and plans their games in the garden, buttons her coat for her, and knows just how to calm her down when she gets upset.  He is endlessly patient and understanding, and she is very willing to follow his lead. ‘George knew that even if Grandma’s mind forgot who he was…her heart always remembered.’ Simply outstanding.
