A moving and beautifully illustrated book that tells stories from different perspectives around dementia.
'A beautiful and moving book that vividly brings home the challenges faced by those with dementia and their carers' Sir Tony Robinson
A moving and beautifully illustrated book that captures the real life tales of people living with dementia, as told by their loved ones caring for them.
This humorous, heartwarming and often heartbreaking collection will be relatable and supportive for anyone touched by dementia in their lives, and provides insight and information for anyone wanting to know more.
The stories reflect on: the impact of receiving a diagnosis, the importance of person-centred care and social inclusion; the power of meaningful engagement, partnerships, peer support and much, much more.
