Nana Speaks Nanese

According to the World Health Organization, 10 million people a year face a diagnosis of dementia. For many families, there's no easy way to talk to young children about what is happening to the adults they love. But not knowing the reason behind the erratic and sometimes unsettling behavior can be frustrating and frightening to little ones.
"Nana Speaks Nanese" is a warm and caring picture book that tackles the confusing changes in behavior brought on by dementia. The story reminds children of the connection they still share with their loved one while also providing parents with strategies to talk about the disease in a reassuring way that young children can understand.
At heart is the belief that while words may be forgotten, feelings -- especially feelings of love -- are remembered.
