The Gift of Goodbye By Louise Cypress!!!


The Gift of Goodbye 
By Louise Cypress



Caleb will do anything to protect the people he loves--and his grandma is top of that list, especially now that she has Alzheimer's disease.

After Emma accidentally insults Grams, Caleb lashes out and makes fun of Emma's dyslexia. Emma's best friend Sydney rushes to her defense, starting a girls versus boys cartoon war that involves the whole sixth grade. Pencils ready, students of Whitman Elementary, prepare to battle!

When Sydney starts taking art lessons from Grams, she connects with Grams in a way that Caleb can't. Love, lost memories, and new friendships enable powerful conversations to happen, especially about the toughest topic of all--Alzheimer's disease.

If you're looking for a book to read with your kids to help them process a loved one moving to a memory care unit, this is it.

Audience: Young Reader+
Review: 

 Wow! This book is emotional, beautiful, and so full of knowledge for ALL ages! I loved this story too much and all of the characters. This is a young reader novel, so it has the cute young kid vibes. Jokes, laughs, heart ache. I love Sydney and Brian and unfortunately
their story is true for too many kids. I love that this book gives the audience perspectives from all different backgrounds. The story of how kids live, but also how they live with someone they love having Alzheimer's Disease is beautiful and heartbreaking. This author did an amazing job! <3
