Award-winning author uses backyard chickens to give us a child's-eye
view of early-onset dementia. As Mama loves and cares for her chickens,
her kids learn lessons about disability and acceptance. Children will
relate to the endearing chickens, while the author uses her own
experience to depict early-onset dementia in a realistic but
age-appropriate way. Dementia doesn't only affect the elderly; this
story shines a supportive, much-needed light on a reality many families
face.
