Author Talk: James and Poppa at Christmas by Sherrie Benton

About this event

Join local childrens author Sherrie Benton to hear more about her bookJames and Poppa at Christmasand their journey through Alzheimers. James and his loving Poppa spend Christmas week together exploring James village. As they attend events, James shares his life and friends with Poppa and Poppa teaches James many new things, all while Poppa is forgetting things, tripping, and tiring more easily. James is concerned but has no language to understand. All the while, Poppa is putting up his best front. James decides to go to his mother and tell her what he sees. Rather than denying what is happening, she validates what James is experiencing. Together the family decides on a solution that will warm everyones heart. This presentation is sponsored by the Friends of the Braden River Library.
