Grandma Hare & Little Hare

A Story about Dementia

As part of my current project I have been writing and illustrating a picture book. Centring on a story about a Little hare who notices changes in Grandma hare. This triggers lots of different emotions but through talking about these changes, Little hare finds new ways of spending time with Grandma hare and learns the importance of enjoying every moment.

My aim with this book was to raise awareness of dementia and to help children understand some of the changes they may observe in someone with dementia, be it their family member or someone they encounter in the wider community.
