'Under the Rose Bush is a short story which explores a touching relationship between a young girl and her grandmother who develops Alzheimer?s disease. Sarah and her Granny are great friends. They spend a lot of time playing and learning together, gradually Sarah notices changes in her Granny. Sarah learns to adjust to the situation as her grandmother ages. Her story provides a sense of optimism despite the grief of eventually losing her beloved grandmother. The book helps children to understand the illness and teaches them how to cope with supporting their grandparents through a difficult time. The book will appeal to mothers with small children and elderly relatives. It would also appeal to retirement homes or nursing homes.' (Publisher's blurb).
