I LOVE YOU, GRANDMA SHARON! Brooke and Grandma’s Days with Parkinson’s is a children’s book detailing the path of a grandmother and her granddaughter and their journeys and adventures during Grandma’s progression with Parkinson’s Disease and Brooke, Sharon’s granddaughter’s, resilience to keep her grandmother’s memory alive forever. Often, it is difficult to explain what children see, feel, and may think when seeing their loved one diagnosed with PD. Set for caregivers, families, and those diagnosed with PD, this book aims to help guide children through various unknown experiences, feelings, and emotions, and provide insight from the eyes of a grandmother battling the disease in a storybook format.

As a son, father, and advocate, I still have trouble today explaining what happened to my children’s grandmother due to Parkinson’s Disease, but I hope this book may paint a helpful picture to understand the journey for children ages 6-12
