When My Grammy Forgets, I Remember: A Child's Perspective on Dementia is a resource for how to explain dementia and/or Alzheimer's in an age appropriate way. It provides conversational openings and stimulates discussion between parents and children about compassion and this debilitating disease. Alzheimer's and other dementia conditions not only affect the person suffering from the disease, but the entire family, especially the children. This story explores the difficult reality of dementia and the bittersweet changing relationship between a granddaughter and her grandmother. By including children in the family discussion, parents help them become resilient and empower them to provide comfort for the grandparents or loved ones with Alzheimer's.

Growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, Toby Haberkorn was a voracious reader and wrote short stories. Later, as a young mother, she delighted in creating stories for her children. When My Grammy Forgets, I Remember: A Child's Perspective on Dementia was inspired by Toby's own family's experiences with her mother's dementia. Her hope is that this book will raise awareness and help families and children better understand this debilitating disease. Toby currently lives in Texas, with her family, where she is working on her next book.
