Kotukū notices her grandfather is becoming forgetful. He hides things around the house and has trouble talking. Is Koro sick? Step by step, Kotukū and her whānau learn about dementia and help Koro to adjust to the changes in his life. This bilingual story tells the story Koros changes and how his family adapt to look after him. What doesnt change is their unwavering love for their grandad. Trish Bowles watercolour illustrations sensitively trace the familys journey and help show dementia doesnt mean the end of life.
