The moving story of how a little girl befriends her elderly neighbour who has dementia.

Grace is a little girl; Phyllis is the old lady next door. Phyllis lives alone and her memory is fading, but that doesn’t stop Grace from liking her. They find that, despite the gap in their ages, they have much in common and a moving and enduring friendship is born.

Industry Reviews

'Young children visiting a relative with Alzheimer's or memory loss will appreciate this sensitive and surprisingly uplifting story.' Daily Mail;'The text is very sensitive, capturing all the warmth of the friendship while gently depicting the progression of Phyllis' dementia. Bethan Welby's illustrations match it perfectly, so that we see Phyllis through Grace's eyes, sometimes laughing, sometimes quiet, sometimes sad, but always a true friend. It's a book that will help children understand the realities of dementia and provide opportunities for discussion, but it's also the story of two individuals and their relationship.' Books for Keeps;'Together words and pictures beautifully document the progression of dementia and how it might appear, from a young child's viewpoint. A book for adults and children to share and discuss as gently as it's presented by its creators.' Red Reading Hub
