“Sometimes Grandma Calls Me Jean” follows a year in the life of Grace and her Grandma Jean, as Grace learns about dementia while her grandma experiences the cognitive decline that impacts millions of Americans. While the grandmother’s mind is changing, the love between her and Grace remains the same. Missouri author Jill Pietroburgo was inspired to write the story after closely caring for her own mother, who had dementia. In addition to a sweet story, the book also includes resources to help children understand dementia and tips for interacting with loved ones with the diagnosis.
