A carefully crafted tale about the relationship between grandparent
& grandchild but #TheTide by @ClareHelenWelsh also touches upon
memory loss using a gentle metaphor of the ebbing tide. An emotive
story beautifully illustrated by @AshlingLindsay who never fails to
deliver
*Picture Books Blogger*
The Tide is up there as one of the most heartwarming books I've
seen. If you're looking for a book to explain families, growing
older & living with dementia in the most child-friendly &
resonating way, this is the book you need. Perfect for use
throughout the primary school.

"The way Clare has handled her subject is perfect - the analogy of
memory ebbing like the tide is so powerful and a brilliant way of
broaching the subject with children... The illustrations are
absolutely gorgeous too - Ashling is one of my favourites!
*Fiona Lumbers*
This story is all about family, with lyrical text and beautiful
illustrations, it's a compassionate book. Perfect for children who
have a loved one with dementia.
