Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Finding Grandma's Memories
Jiyeon Pak · 2019
82/100
👍 Worth It
Finding Grandma's Memories does something genuinely rare: it brings dementia into a picture book without fear or sentimentality, holding the child's perspective front and center while keeping the emotional truth intact. A starred Kirkus review confirms what the subject matter alone suggests — this is a carefully made book. Families navigating a grandparent's memory loss will find it invaluable; it also works beautifully as a classroom conversation starter.
