Helping Grandad Remember: a story of love and memory
Tommy loves his Grandad very much, but lately, Grandad has been acting a little differently. He forgets things easily and sometimes doesn't even recognize Tommy, which can feel confusing and a bit scary.
With the help of his family, Tommy discovers a wonderful secret: while Grandad might forget things from today, his head is still full of wonderful memories from when he was young!
Follow Tommy's journey as he creates "Grandad’s Book of Memories"—a special scrapbook full of vintage cars, classic tools, and old-fashioned pictures that helps open up a whole new world of conversation and connection.
