I Remember Jeanne Willis 9781839941221

A poignant story full of love and gentle humour to help young children understand dementia.

George's granny is quite forgetful. Sometimes, she can't even remember George's name. But George doesn't mind. Together they play in the garden, dance, and share chocolate biscuits. Granny might not always remember the little things, but George knows she loves him more than words can say.

A celebration of the unforgettable love between a grandparent and grandchild, proving that even though the mind can sometimes forget, the heart will always remember.

This is a topical and timely story from bestselling and award-winning writer, Jeanne Willis. Beautiful artwork from Spanish talent, Raquel Catalina, brings this heartfelt tale to life with tenderness and warmth.

Jeanne Willis (Author)
Jeanne Willis wrote her first book when she was five - a slim volume about cats written in pencil and stitched together with a painfully blunt needle so that it looked like a 'real' book. After that, there was no turning back. Having been fired from her Saturday job - selling cowboy boots on the Kings Road - for chewing gum, and after a brief career as a reptile vet's assistant, she worked as a copywriter and had her first picture book published at the age of 21 (which she wrote whilst pretending to be busy creating adverts for cognac).

She has since written over 300 books and has won several awards, which are arranged in the attic where she works, along with her collection of caterpillars, pink-toed tarantula skins and live locusts. Jeanne has a keen interest in Natural History and has lost count of the number of species featured in her books, including everything from slugs to sloths. She is currently into corvids - especially Nosy Crows.

Raquel Catalina (Illustrator)
Raquel Catalina is a Spanish illustrator. As a child, any surface was a canvas for her art: wallpaper, school desks, book margins - even her own skin! Today, little has changed, except for the wallpaper.

Raquel studied Fine Arts in Madrid. Nowadays she mainly illustrates children's books. She has been shortlisted to exhibit her work at the Bologna Children's Book Fair as well as in Mexico, Portugal and Spain.
