A sweet story about patience, and understanding our elders. Seems simple but when they become older and changes happen like forgetting or anger it’s easy to be a bit scared. This book helps kids deal with that big feeling in a bit so heavy way.
I loved the idea behind the book of cooking and baking bringing the family together.
My daughter loves joining in with the cooking and baking in the kitchen and all family activities so she could relate to the story.
I liked the dual language used in the book too and the images were lovely, the book also touches on the loss of memory for the grandma which is a good way to be able to raise the topic with a young child too - 4 stars from me for this one
The author takes on a difficult subject for young students, that of aging grandparents who suffer from memory impairment. It's one that isn't addressed often but pervasive today. The story provides some solace and a better understanding of how a young family member could be affected. The end notes further add to coping with it.
The message of family, love, and customs all add to the positivism of the book as do the vivid illustrations.
