What Gram Remembers Diana Hutsell

What if your favorite person in the world suddenly didn't always remember you?




Christopher and his mom go to visit his Gram, his favorite person in the world. In Christopher's words, "Gram was like no one else." However, during this visit, he starts to notice that she sometimes seems confused and not completely herself, which worries him. His mom explains to Christopher that Gram has Alzheimer's disease. While he does not fully understand, he enjoys and treasures his time with Gram and begins to think of ways to help her remember him and the fun things that they have always done together.




Dear Gram,

I'll remember the fun for both of us!

Love Christopher




What Gram Remembers is a story about patience, understanding, and coping with the changes that come when someone has Alzheimer's disease.
