Big Bear little Bear
I feel this book has explained Dementia in such a kind way. It may take away some of the fear a child feels when their grandparent has Dementia. It's such a lovely book about an awful subject

Written and illustrated with love and so much understanding
Full disclosure, I know Katie professionally as an outstanding physiotherapist and passionate advocate for people with dementia.
This is an outstanding book which will help children (and older ones!) gain better understanding of a condition that already affects 1 in 14 people >65 years in the UK, and between 2025 and 2040 will grow from 1 million to 1.6 million people living with dementia.
Not only is 'Big Bear, Little Bear and Dementia' beautifully and movingly written and illustrated, the metaphor of bookshelves within it is brilliant on so many levels.
Not only for individual family purposes, this is a book that would be invaluable for schools and libraries alike to foster the kinds of conversations that will become ever more needed through a lens of loving compassion. Buy one for yourself and those who you know will love it too - which is a lot of us.

So simply and beautifully explained!
This book is so beautiful I actually cried the first time I read it, and I don't even have a personal relationship with dementia! I do however work with a lot of people with dementia and will be recommending this book to everyone, not just those with small children.
I have never heard it so simply and beautifully explained!

About the author
Well hello, lovely reader!
I'm Katie and it is my absolute honour to introduce you to Big Bear and Little Bear- the characters in my book. (Maybe, books?)
I want to create beautiful and inclusive books to support people who are trying to navigate the emotional journey we go on when a loved one is diagnosed with dementia. This was inspired by whilst reflecting on my own experience as an eight year old, when my gorgeous Gran was diagnosed with dementia- those experiences no doubt led me to specialising as a physiotherapist in the world of this condition, which affects more than 55 million people worldwide.
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my animals and my allotment. I get to spend my days with my lovely, one eyed dog Ralph, my scraggy old cat Yoda and my funny little chickens, Marge, Edna and Daisy.
Please feel free to get in touch and suggest any content you feel you would benefit from in my next book!
All the love,
Katie
