Winner at the 2012 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards. A subtle, deceptively simple book about the relationship between a kid and his Grandfather, suffering from Alzheimer’s. Love and understanding are often the best tools for dealing with this problem. And who better to help than a mischievous grandson?
My Grandpa Pedro is a bit confused: he tries to roast the chicken inside the washing machine, he gets towels mixed up with napkins, gloves mixed up with socks, and he’s always forgetting my name! My mom and uncle Andrés are worried things could get worse, so they decided it was best if Grandpa came to live at our house.
I’m glad he’s with us now because he helps me with my homework and I help him with his. Although I keep getting into trouble trying to help him… But I’d do anything to stop my grandpa from forgetting things! Anything. What about you? What would you do for the people you love?
Ganador del premio Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards en 2012. Un libro sutil y delicado sobre la relación entre un niño y su abuelo, que sufre de Alzheimer. El amor y la comprensión suelen ser las mejores herramientas para afrontar cualquier adversidad. ¿Y quién mejor para ayudar que un nieto lleno de energía?
Mi abuelo Pedro está un poco despistado: mete el pollo en la lavadora, confunde toallas con servilletas, guantes con medias, ¡y hasta se olvida muchas veces de mi nombre! Mamá y tío Andrés están muy preocupados por él, así que han decidido que de ahora en adelante el abuelo vivirá con nosotros.
Me alegra que esté con nosotros, porque así él me ayuda con los deberes y yo lo ayudo a él con los suyos. Aunque ya me he metido en más de un lío por intentar ayudarlo… Pero haría lo que fuera para que mi abuelo no olvidara las cosas. Lo que fuera. Y vosotros, ¿qué haríais vuestros seres queridos?
