Tuesdays with Henry
Autor Marlane Pentelechuken Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mar 2019
Henry's Gram says, "That's okay, Henry! WE know who Grandma Ellen is even if she doesn't always know us! Grandma Ellen is losing her MEMORIES, but she loves the MOMENTS because they happen right now!"
So Gram and Henry spend many Tuesdays with Grandma Ellen and the other grandmas and grandpas who live in her care centre, and they make every moment count!
Tuesdays with Henry...Making Moments with Grandma Ellen is a simple story that demonstrates how parents can involve their young children when visiting loved ones who are often lonely, lost and confused due to Alzheimer's and dementia . With the focus on making "moments" rather than "memories", there is a gentle reminder that even those who struggle to remember can still enjoy simple experiences and visits where they feel included and loved. This book includes examples of ways to "make every moment count" as well as a special section for parents to guide them in making a successful visit. Parents and children, alike will learn lessons about the beauty and value of empathy, respect and spending time with the elderly, especially those struggling with dementia.

Notă biografică
Marlane Pentelechuk is a former elementary school teacher, who retired from the classroom to care for her aging parents. When her mother was placed in a secure care facility due to her advanced dementia, Marlane learned many lessons about interacting with Alzheimer's and dementia patients and how appreciated and significant regular visits can be, not only for the patient but also for the visitor. Now, "Gram" to Henry and Jack, Marlane finds great delight in having them join her as they make moments together for Grandma Ellen and the other residents on the unit. Her desire is that this story and her previous book, Tuesdays with Henry (winner of a Canada Book Award), will inspire other families with loved ones who have dementia to find value in regular visits and look for ways to make them meaningful, if only for the moment. Marlane enjoys spending time with her family and volunteering in her community. She lives in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, with her husband, Darren.
