Uncle Larry's Wacky Adventure: Fun, Family, and Finding Words!: A Whimsical Journey Through Frontotemporal Dementia

By Debbie Strauch

The story follows Uncle Larry's nieces and nephews who visit him every summer. Uncle Larry is known for his whimsical stories that blend reality with magic. He lives with the semantic variant of frontotemporal lobe dementia, which means he struggles to understand or speak words properly and often substitutes words. As his condition progresses, he speaks mostly in short phrases but never loses his laughter and joy.

One day, while exploring the attic, Liam and Kennedy discover an old, dusty photo album filled with pictures of Uncle Larry as a young boy, each accompanied by a short story.

As cousins Liam, Kennedy, Morgan, Peyton, and Kylie flip through the album, each photo transports them into a magical memory adventure from Uncle Larry's past. Through these adventures, the cousins learn valuable life lessons about courage, kindness, and the importance of family. Each memory ends with Uncle Larry sharing a piece of wisdom, connecting the magic to real-life values.
