Download or read book Gotta Remember Grandma Forgets written by S Reid-Stewart and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-02-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is grandma acting so weird? How come grandpa doesn't know me anymore? Did grandma get lost? Why is grandpa so angry? It's so difficult watching that family member who was once sharp, energetic, and wise become a stranger--distant and forgetful. It's even more difficult trying to explain what's going on to a child when you can't fully wrap your own mind around it. Alzheimer's and dementia can be so hard on a family. It is hard on the adults and has to be confusing and stressful for a child. This children's book can open up dialogue about these conditions and the transition that family members, especially grandparents, may go through. In many situations, kids become a part of the caregiving process and that can cause great anxiety if they are not prepared for what's to come. As a counselor, as well as someone who has experienced this with my mom and other family members, I encourage you to prepare your kids for some of the alarming changes that their loved-ones might experience. I hope this book can be used as a simplified resource for children, families, or counselors to get kids through the tough times ahead.

Book excerpt: When your grandmother can’t remember your name it should be sad, but maybe it is just an opportunity to tell her more often how much you love her. Grandma Forgets is the heart-warming story of a family bound by love as they cope with their grandma’s dementia. Over the years, the little girl has built up a treasure trove of memories of time spent with Grandma: sausages for Sunday lunch, driving in her sky-blue car to the beach, climbing her apple trees while she baked a delicious apple pie, and her comforting hugs during wild storms. But now, Grandma can’t remember those memories. She makes up new rules for old games and often hides Dad’s keys. Sometimes Dad is sad because he has to hold onto the memories for both him and his mother now, but fortunately his daughter is only too happy to help him make new memories to share. This is a warm, hopeful story about a family who sometimes needs to remind their grandmother a little more often than they used to about how much they care. She might not remember any of their names but she will always know how much she is loved.

Download or read book Under Cedar Shades written by Helen Lavinia Underwood and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-08-18 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under Cedar Shades spans five generations of American women and their families as they struggle to endure displacement, color discrimination, famine, war and exploitation in 19th century America. The story begins with the forced removal of the Cherokees along the Trail of Tears in 1838 and continues as many of them intermingle with Welch, African, Portuguese, and Scots-Irish immigrants. Family secrets abound, as a modern-day descendant presses her grandmother for answers to who she is. But her grandmother harbors a terrible secret she can neither forget nor reveal. Under Cedar Shades is about endurance in the face of adversity, discrimination and injustice. It draws on the Cherokee belief in the sacred nature of the cedar, which never loses its branches, even in winter. “A multigenerational saga, comparable in characterization and narrative skill (though not in size) to the work of James Michener. . . .A fascinating and entertaining piece of historical fiction.” (Amazon.com six-star reader review) “Underwood does a fine job humanizing the contradictions underpinning the inception of the United States – treaties and hypocrisy, land stolen at bayonet point, slavery for some and autonomy for others. . . . Her strengths lie in evoking broad washes of ancestral time punctuated by detailed scenes of domesticity . . . . Lively characters keep pages turning at a steady tick.” (Kirkus Discovery Reviews)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. ""Ephesians 4:1""3 (NIV) LILY: Well, amen, Kimbriah! I guess Grandma Dotty's not the only one with verses up her sleeve! KIMBRIAH: Nope! I think that verse perfectly words what you learned in this book, Lily. LILY: Definitely! Don't be too quick to judge. Try to see everyone in a positive light. I had to deal with some cold people in this book. For example, Scarlett, the new guest at the Thanksgiving dinner, didn't even want to shake my hand. And Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Finley's evil sister, tried to steal her sister's private journal! Putting that word into practice was hard! KIMBRIAH: Yup! But you dealt with them well! As Christians, we need to make an extra effort to love everyone. You learned how to see the best in even those who are difficult, and that is the meaning of God's love. I don't think we can say much more than that in this summary, so in that case... LILY: Enjoy this book and stay tuned for more fun in Grandma Dotty 3: Christmas Chaos!

Download or read book Dreaming in Cuban written by Cristina García and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2011-06-08 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Impressive . . . [Cristina García’s] story is about three generations of Cuban women and their separate responses to the revolution. Her special feat is to tell it in a style as warm and gentle as the ‘sustaining aromas of vanilla and almond,’ as rhythmic as the music of Beny Moré.”—Time Cristina García’s acclaimed book is the haunting, bittersweet story of a family experiencing a country’s revolution and the revelations that follow. The lives of Celia del Pino and her husband, daughters, and grandchildren mirror the magical realism of Cuba itself, a landscape of beauty and poverty, idealism and corruption. Dreaming in Cuban is “a work that possesses both the intimacy of a Chekov story and the hallucinatory magic of a novel by Gabriel García Márquez” (The New York Times). In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the novel’s original publication, this edition features a new introduction by the author. Praise for Dreaming in Cuban “Remarkable . . . an intricate weaving of dramatic events with the supernatural and the cosmic . . . evocative and lush.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Captures the pain, the distance, the frustrations and the dreams of these family dramas with a vivid, poetic prose.”—The Washington Post “Brilliant . . . With tremendous skill, passion and humor, García just may have written the definitive story of Cuban exiles and some of those they left behind.”—The Denver Post

The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise is Dan Gemeinhart’s finest book yet — and that’s saying something. Your heart needs this joyful miracle of a book." — Katherine Applegate, acclaimed author of The One and Only Ivan and Wishtree Five years. That's how long Coyote and her dad, Rodeo, have lived on the road in an old school bus, criss-crossing the nation. It's also how long ago Coyote lost her mom and two sisters in a car crash. Coyote hasn’t been home in all that time, but when she learns that the park in her old neighborhood is being demolished—the very same park where she, her mom, and her sisters buried a treasured memory box—she devises an elaborate plan to get her dad to drive 3,600 miles back to Washington state in four days...without him realizing it. Along the way, they'll pick up a strange crew of misfit travelers. Lester has a lady love to meet. Salvador and his mom are looking to start over. Val needs a safe place to be herself. And then there's Gladys... Over the course of thousands of miles, Coyote will learn that going home can sometimes be the hardest journey of all...but that with friends by her side, she just might be able to turn her “once upon a time” into a “happily ever after.” This title has common core connections.
