New Website for Grandparents: a feature on JC’s book and article

Check out this brand-new website for Grandparents that profiles “What My Grandma Means to Say” and reprints JC’s article from City Parent (Toronto). http://thegrandparentsguide.com/tag/alzheimers/ It’s great that talking with kids about Alzheimer’s is featured there. Hope that families who could use the book  learn about it  this way.
