An intergenerational children's picture book about living with dementia.

Meet Lucy.

Lucy lives with dementia.

She wishes she didn't, but she does.

Her brain has changed, but she is still Lucy.

Thank goodness she has a brain AND a heart.

A moving and heartfelt picture book for young children and their families, to help them navigate the changes that come with living with Alzheimer's disease.
