The illustrator of this book chose the topic since her dad had dementia.

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

I really like sharing ideas on how the family can help a person with this diagnosis.

What is a common misconception you feel people have about Dementia?

It seems that people may be unaware of medication options that can help.

What was the most challenging part of writing the Nurse Florence books, and what was the most rewarding?

The most challenging part to writing the series is ensuring all research on the disease topic is included at a child’s reading level. The most rewarding part is hearing how the books have educated a whole family.
