A resource for families to initiate conversation with young children about Alzheimer's and dementia, containing activities for all ages. It can be confusing and possibly frightening for children to experience changes in a loved one. Just Like Me handles the confusion, and lets children know that their loved one is still there, and more like them than before. The colorful illustrations enable young children to retell the story using picture cues. While the story is written for small children, the variety of follow-up discussion questions and activities lend themselves to all ages. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Alzheimer's Association.

"This brief story is about a grandmother who comes to live with the family. It provides a gentle lesson for mentally entering the world of the person with dementia, rather than forcing them into ours. The charming illustrations include the grandmother, granddaughter, and small stuffed bunny. The final suggestion for helping a child understand dementia is a powerful but simple prayer.
The cover immediately reminded me of my own childhood, visiting my grandmother in a nursing home. One of the well-dressed ladies would greet us in the hallway and invite us to her tea party. My mother would always decline politely. It was disappointing to realize that there was no party. Looking back, I wish someone had taken the time to help her create a tea party."
