Remember Me When is written and illustrated by kids and part of
Reflections Publishing's "Kids Helping Kids Through Books" series.
Remember Me When specifically addresses how to navigate through
Alzheimer's disease with a loved one. The fiction stories in this
series are written and illustrated from the fresh perspective of
kids. With the stories written by child authors, child readers who
are going through a difficult time can read these stories and have
their feelings validated. By connecting with the children through a
fiction story, it simply provides a start for the healing process.
Because true healing requires a broad focus on emotional,
educational, social, and even spiritual needs, this series also
provides a non-fiction section for children (and parents) with the
tools they need to navigate through these situations. Specifically,
at the back of each book in this series, readers will find
commentaries for dealing with difficult situations from experts in
various fields (e.g., child psychologists, educators, therapists,
and religious scholars). We believe this series will provide
children with valuable tools to assist them in dealing with many
real-life challenges. Description of Remember Me When: The cruel
reality of Alzheimer's disease is that it steals from two groups of
people. Individuals suffering from this form of dementia are
callously robbed of their minds and memories over time. Just as
heartbreaking, though, is the theft of the continued comfort and
joy the Alzheimer's patients would have brought to their family
members and loved ones as the disease progressively grows worse.
Remember Me When is a heartfelt story that provides insight into
the terrible crime that is Alzheimer's disease, as told from the
perspective of an unlikely collateral victim -a child. Combining a
touching story written by 8-year-old Isabelle Ster (whose
grandfather, Papa Jerry, suffers from the disease), beautiful
imagery from artist Emily Morgan, and expert advice on coping
skills and interacting with those who suffer from this disease,
Remember Me When will be a cherished resource to families and
friends as they journey alongside a loved one with Alzheimer's
disease.
The story is about a little girl named Lucy whose Halloween turns
out better than she expected when she meets some new friends. They
help Lucy have the best Halloween night ever and she is going to
make memories to last forever. Join Lucy as her Halloween dreams
come true.
Chances are that just under a nearby rock, you'll spot a roly-poly

a ball and unrolls to take a walk. This cousin to lobsters and
crabs sheds its crusty skin and will tickle your hand with its 14
(count 'em!) wiggly legs. Awaken a sense of wonder in a child with
the Next Time You See series from NSTA Kids. The books will inspire
elementary-age children to experience the enchantment of everyday
phenomena, such as pill bugs, fireflies, seashells, and sunsets.
