Grandpa Monty's MuddlesHardcover, 1 August 2012

Winner at the 2012 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards. A subtle, deceptively simple book about the relationship between a kid and his Grandfather, suffering from Alzheimer's. Love and understanding are often the best tools for dealing with this problem. And who better to help than a mischievous grandson?

My Grandpa Monty is a bit confused: he tries to roast the chicken inside the washing machine, he gets towels mixed up with napkins, gloves mixed up with socks, and he's always forgetting my name! My mom and uncle Andrew are worried things could get worse, so they decided it was best if Grandpa came to live at our house.

I'm glad he's with us now because he helps me with my homework and I help him with his. Although I keep getting into trouble trying to help him... But I'd do anything to stop my grandpa from forgetting things! Anything. What about you? What would you do for the people you love?
