Produktbeschreibung

Ollie lived one childhood as he was growing up, and another childhood as he was growing old. As he enters his second childhood, he fondly remembers the fullness of the first in this children's book about dementia.

Written with love by Ollie's wife and caregiver, Two Childhoods? Ollie Explains! tells the life story of a gentle elderly man. The first childhood he passed through as an adventurous boy growing into manhood, and the second and harder childhood he entered into as an adult growing old.

In this picture book written by Dr. Susan Krechel and beautifully illustrated by Meagan Colley, Ollie's rich life story unfolds. Lovingly crafted to help young people understand dementia, Two Childhoods? Ollie Explains! acts as both an elderly man's memoir and an educational experience for children. Through Ollie's story and his interactions with the world around him, Dr. Krechel demonstrates how the second childhood can be fun instead of scary, as long as it is understood.

Parents who are looking for a way to explain what dementia is like to their kids will find the book's simple language refreshingly easy for them to understand. Children who are ready to read on their own will find the text simple to grasp and the book is also perfect for families to read and discuss together.

Two Childhoods? Ollie Explains! invites readers to celebrate both the magical beginning of life and the simple beauty of the second childhood.
