A beautifully illustrated story, helping to explain and give greater understanding of dementia to young people. -- Youth Engagement team, Alzheimer’s Society
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. -- Scott Evans
