Mile-High Apple Pie

Reach for this book when a grandparent begins to experience memory loss or confusion, especially if your child is feeling hurt by being forgotten. It is a gentle, comforting tool for navigating the early stages of dementia or Alzheimer's within a family. The story follows Margaret as she watches her grandmother change from a vibrant baker to someone who cannot always recall Margaret's name. It beautifully illustrates that while names and facts might fade, the heart's memory for love and shared sensory traditions (like baking a mile-high apple pie) remains strong. It is ideal for children ages 4 to 8, providing a vocabulary for their confusion and a way to feel useful and connected during a difficult family transition.
