The Little Word Catcher (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781897187449)

Elise wonders why her grandmother's words keep escaping her - do they fly off to play tricks on her? Elise's grandmother used to know many marvelous words, but now she seems to be losing them all the time. Can Elise help her by catching them, like butterflies in a net? This award-winning picture book offers a gentle exploration of the effects of Alzheimer's on the relationships in a family, and the special bond it creates between a grandmother and her granddaughter. By the end, Elise comes to believe that her grandmother has used up all her words and has passed them on to her, as a gift.
