I Love My Grandpa |
'I Love My Grandpa' explores the loving relationship between Chris and his grandpa, as Chris helps his grandpa to navigate and manage his developing dementia. The text shows in simple, child-friendly terms that dementia is an illness like any other, and teaches that those with it still have feelings, a sense of humour and continue to contribute meaningfully to society. It is a 'feel good' book that would be valuable in any school library, care or family home. With lots of humour, it makes the perfect bedtime story.

The Day the Wi-Fi Broke |
‘The Day the Wi-Fi Broke’ is a light-hearted look at how a family manages when their wi-fi breaks down. Everyone is in a flap wondering how they will cope, but following Grandpa William’s advice of ‘doing things a little differently’ they find that not having wi-fi is not as problematic as they had imagined.
