Daniel and his mom spend every summer with his Grandpa at a cottage by the sea. Daniel loves these summer visits: playing baseball, walking on the beach, watching the sunset, and hearing Grandpa's stories of his fishing boat. As the summer passes, Grandpa begins to change. Daniel learns that since Grandpa has Alzheimer's disease, he will have trouble remembering all the things that belong to him--his clothes, his words, his memories--and eventually, his own grandson. A comprehensive afterword is included for parents that describes the psychological issues confronting the child, suggests helpful ways to talk about feelings and stressors, and provides a brief overview of the disease and a list of additional resources.
