'I have never heard dementia be so simply and beautifully explained'- Julia, customer of Big Bear, Little Bear and Dementia
Big Bear, Little Bear and Dementia is a lovingly written book exploring the thoughts and feelings we experience when our loved one is living with dementia. Dementia affects people from all walks of life, and so this beautiful book is inclusive for all.
Overview
Big Bear and Little Bear are as close as close can be, they love to nap and sing their songs, with Little Bear sat on Big Bears knee.
Big Bear can no longer always do the things that Big Bears do since being diagnosed with dementia. Little Bear feels confused by this and seeks the help of Doctor Bear, who explains dementia, in a Little Bear friendly way. Together they discover that the loves, laughs, and memories shared between the bears will always be stored safely in their heart.
