(2) K-3 Illustrated by Stephanie Graegin. A girl describes the progression of her grandmother's dementia. Unflinchingly direct text captures Julia's love for her grandmother and her devastation when her grandmother doesn't recognize her. Warmly shaded illustrations contain a forget-me-not motif, tying in Julia's hopes for bringing joy into her grandmother's life despite her losses. A powerful, clear-eyed meditation on one girl's loving but painful relationship with a beloved aging relative.
