The Tide
Description
A young girl loves her grandpa so much! When they spend the day at the beach, she holds his hand as they go for a walk, and they build sand castles together. But sometimes, it’s difficult, because Grandpa has become forgetful. “Grandpa’s memories are like the tide,” Mommy explains. “Sometimes, they’re near and full of life. Other times, they’re distant and quiet.” A story about families, laughter, and how we can help a loved one with dementia live well.
About the Author

When Clare isn’t writing stories for children, she is inspiring children to write their own. Being an elementary school teacher gives Clare an outlet for her BIG ideas. Once she had the idea she might be an author!
