Grandpa & Lewy by Jennifer Randazzo
Grandpa & Lewy is a celebration of hope, love, and warmth and shows a special bond between a grandfather and a young boy, who always finds new ways to help his grandfather remember that Lewy can bring so many changes in your body and can make our life hard, but can not change the love and the way we feel for each other.
This book follows a young boy who shares a special bond with his grandpa, and they spend most of their time together, but soon, grandpa behaves strangely, and sometimes he forgets things and rules of games etc. Then his mother told him that Grandpa has Lewy Body Dementia, so things can be challenging sometimes, but you can make his life a bit easier with your love and understanding. The boy misses the things that he used to do with his grandfather, but realizes the love they share is always so special.
The book has captivating illustrations that capture the essence of this story very beautifully and show the children how our love and care helps them get through their tough times.
I highly recommend this book to children so they can cherish their bond with grandparents, and I'm sure children will enjoy this heartwarming story that addresses the physical and mental changes caused by Lewy Body Dementia.

July 31, 2023Grandpa and Lewy is a beautiful book about a young boy learning that his Grandpa has a special condition and isn't always able to control his body and moods. Through simple prose and captivating minimalist watercolor art, Lewy's love for his Grandpa are portrayed.
I was so teary as I read this book. The grandparent-grandchild relationship is well done and I liked learning about Lewy from the perspective of a child and the changes he sees in his loved one. He is willing to offer his own strength to help his grandpa make it through the tough times. Personifying Lewy as a squirrel was helpful in bringing together common attributes and separating the dementia from the person.
Adored it! It offers so many points of conversation with a child and I look forward to revisiting it.
Many thanks to the author for providing me a review copy of this book for my honest thoughts.

You are never aware of the types of issues a family can go through, unless they tell you. Most children, however, find it difficult to express the feelings they are having; especially when something big is happening to someone they love.
The author takes the experience of a dementia diagnosis of a beloved grandfather, and tells the story through the first person view of a child. Parents of children with a family member struggling with a Lewy Body Dementia diagnosis would find this book a good addition to their library.

Informative and Fun
I never knew that there was a different category of dementia, until I came across this book. The author does an awesome job at explaining both to adults and making it user friendly for children as well.
It’s written in the first person from the view of a child. If you are having a family member going through a Lewy Body Dementia diagnosis, this book would be ideal for helping younger family to cope.

Beautiful Helpful Story!
Grandparents are so special and this book does a great job highlighting how amazing they are. Having a grandparent with dementia can be extremely hard for kids to understand. This book hits home for my family. My elderly father in law lives with us and he has dementia. It can be very confusing for the kids and this book is such a very needed tool to help explain what is going on with grandpa. Love the helpful tips at the end for how to help a child cope also!!

Sadly needed
A beautifully illustrated story of a grandfather with Lewy Body Dementia. It speaks through the child's view and their feelings as they watch their grandfather go through this.

The story about this scarry disease is told in a wonderful, so tauching, but very exact way.

All children and grownips in our house justnloved it.
