FYI,

The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) is a national nonprofit organization. They contacted me to let me know that they would like to donate copies of an educational children’s book they created and published, Dancing with Granddad: An Alzheimer’s Story for Children and Their Families, written by NJ author Linda Bozzo, to public libraries who are interested in receiving them. The book is available in both English and Spanish. You can request a copy in both English and Spanish if you want.

Dancing with Granddad is designed to be a teaching tool adults can use to have a conversation with a child about Alzheimer’s disease. The book, which is suggested for children ages 5 to 8, takes young readers on the journey of learning in an age-appropriate way that seven-year-old Nia’s Granddad has Alzheimer’s and will need to move to a new home. They also learn that while Nia’s Granddad is changing, the love they have between them never will.  

If interested, please request the book by emailing Sandy Silverstein, Media Relations Manager at Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, at ...@alzfdn.org" style="color: #2199e8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">ssil...@alzfdn.org.

Thanks.
