My Book about Brains, Change and Dementia: What is Dementia and What Does it Do?

‘My book about brains, change and dementia’ offers a fantastic way to help parents communicate to a child the complex and often difficult task of explaining the disease. This book does so well at simplifying but not disguising dementia and additionally advocates that the feelings the disease can create in a loved one of a sufferer are okay – which is so important for kids to know.’

– Takaya Honda, ABC Playschool, Neighbours

‘Beautifully written and thoughtfully presented. This important book equips both children and adults with the means to understand and talk about what could otherwise be a mysterious and distressing subject.’

– Andy Griffiths, children’s author, Australia

‘A beautifully illustrated, beautifully written book for children that teaches them about dementia in a realistic, yet simple way.’

– Wendy Mitchell, author of Somebody I Used to Know

‘This is a great book. Thoughtfully written and beautifully illustrated, it will help children better understand dementia and make it easier for adults explain to children the behavioural changes that can occur when a much loved family member has dementia.’

– Ita Buttrose AO OBE, Ambassador Dementia Australia; 2013 Australian of the Year
