What’s Happening to Grandpa meets Up in this tender, sensitive picture book that gently explains the memory loss associated with aging and diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

It’s up to him to share those balloons, one by one.
This book contains themes of memory loss, aging, and intergenerational relationships.
