Singing with Momma Lou

"This bibliotherapeutic title will help to serve need, and the story is straightforward and inspirational."

"This worthy source for any family dealing with the anguish of Alzheimer's provides assurance to children that their experience isn't unique as well as a blueprint for a proactive approach even young children can undertake."

"Tamika visits Momma Lou every Sunday afternoon at the nursing home. Momma Lou usually does not recognize her nine-year-old granddaughter because she suffers from Alzheimer's disease. . . This delicate story, with a bittersweet conclusion, gives children a realistic but softened look at a devastating illness. Johnson's illustrations, in broad-brush strokes and deep colors, depict the setting in a dignified manner and successfully reflect the deep attachment between grandparent and grandchild. A helpful endnote provides a bit of additional information on the disease."
