WHO WILL HEAR BEGONIA?

WHO WILL HEAR BEGONIA? By Bonny Gable

When Nana's memory illness steals her beautiful smile Emma and Kara try all sorts of antics to bring it back. Their dachshund Begonia tries to tell them how, but no one pays attention. Only after the girls begin to listen and everyone works together can they recapture that smile. They discover that while Nana's mind works differently than before, her love for them was never lost.

This entertaining yet touching story helps children cope with the confusion, disappointment or fear they may experience watching a loved one struggle with Alzheimer's disease. They learn that despite changes the illness brings, their connection to that person through love remains the same.

​

Begonia's repeated pleas to help eventually lead to the rewarding solution, showing that small voices can have big ideas and highlighting the importance of listening.
