Green Kitty

By Alexandra Faer Bryan

Called a book for all ages, Green Kitty was written for children ages 8 to 12 to help explain Alzheimer's disease and dementia, and is both entertaining and educational. It was a finalist for both USA Book News "Best Books 2011" and "International Book of the Year 2012" in children's fiction, and is filled with true, laugh-out-loud animal antics. Green Kitty will please any child who loves their pets and parents will enjoy reading it out loud to younger children.
It is a series of stories within a story with a grandmother that recalls old anecdotes, mostly about family pets, for a visiting grandchild. The grandmother has recently been placed into assisted living due to her dementia and their bond grows stronger through the visits despite the illness. Helpful information about Alzheimer's disease is deftly woven into the work.
Green Kitty will capture the imagination of both boys and girls. Overall the books show what true family love is all about.

Quotes from some of the reviews:

"So if you need to explain how to provide loving compassionate care in a non threatening way to anyone no matter how old they are... this is that book." - Judith Sly, Alzheimer's Care Giver.
"I have tried (as I always do) to find some fault with this book. On this occasion however I cannot find a single bone to pick with it and would recommend it without hesitation to parents everywhere." - Ingrid Hall
