Georgianna Goes to the Zoo is a heartwarming underwater adventure that helps children understand how to support someone living with memory loss. When Georgianna visits the Underwater Zoo with her Grandma Mabel, things don't go quite as planned. Grandma gets confused, says some silly things, and even tries to feed lunch to a sea creature! But Georgianna remembers what she learned in her Mabel Moments class and with patience, love, and a lot of laughter, she helps guide their day.
Inspired by real-life dementia care techniques, this story gently teaches young readers three powerful strategies:
- Stick to a Routine
- Offer Reassurance
- Redirect with Kindness
Written by Certified Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Trainer Katie Sue Huffman, this book is part of the Mabel Moments series, created to help kids feel empowered, not afraid, when someone they love has dementia. Through relatable moments and playful sea creatures, this story encourages compassion, confidence, and joyful connection even on confusing days.
Perfect for classrooms, families, and care communities, Georgianna Goes to the Zoo is a tool for starting conversations about aging, empathy, and the many ways kids can be helpers.
Includes a special "Draw Your Own Mabel Moment" activity page and caregiver resources for continuing the conversation.
