Amelia's granny forgets lots of things. Little things, like where
she put her glasses, and big things like people and places. But
everything anyone has ever forgotten is stored in The Forgettery,
and there Amelia and her granny learn the power of making memories.
Chosen by The Guardian for Book of the Month! Filled with warmth
and gentle humour, The Forgettery is a beautifully written,
sensitive look at dementia and memory loss. Over 850,000 people
live with dementia in the UK, which will soar to 2 million by 2051.
Globally, around 50 million people live with dementia, with nearly
10 million new cases each year. Opening up discussions surrounding
this challenging topic with little ones has never been more
important. Without ever explicitly mentioning dementia, The
Forgettery can be enjoyed as an adventure story where children
explore a fantastical world where memories can be re-discovered and
revisited as well as newly made. Rachel Ip's tender words capture
the wonderful bond between grandmother and granddaughter and Laura
Hughes conjures up an exciting, wonderous space where our most
precious memories are stored, and the challenge of dementia can be
gently explored and understood.
