Dr. Lori Aden is an educator by trade with over 30 years of experience in K12 and higher education. With a master's degree in Education Technology and a doctorate in Teacher Leadership, Lori used her education experience to research Alzheimer's caregiving from many different perspectives while caring for her mother. Lori successfully completed the EssentialALZ@ Alzheimer's Association Training and Certification program to become a more knowledgeable advocate for Alzheimer's caregiving and education. She works full-time as a program coordinator for one of the largest education service centers in Texas and part-time as an adjunct instructor for a community college. However, her proudest roles are wife, sister, mom, and nana. Most importantly, she is the devoted daughter of Marylin, who is the inspiration behind this book series and her first book, "I Remember Me - The Mom Chronicles."

Sheila Parsley, sister of co-author Lori, earned a master's degree in Counseling and has worked in the mental health field for over 23 years. Sheila successfully completed the EssentialALZ@ Alzheimer's Association Training and Certification program. When she is not working, she can be found reading or in the kitchen baking for family and friends with her Texas Cottage Bakery business called "Treasured Treats and Trinkets." She loves all things dragons and was the inspiration behind using a whimsical dragon family for this book series. Sheila was an integral part of the caregiving for her mother, Marylin. She would drive to Dallas every other weekend for over six years to spend valuable time with her mom and give her sister and brother-in-law respite breaks.

What a wonderful idea for a children's book series! Alzheimer's is such a devastating illness for the entire family and explaining the changes in a cherished love one to a child is beyond difficult.
I absolutely love the cover art and synopses. Thank you for sharing your bio and books' details

How long did it take you to write your book?

Hi Bernie - it took us about a month to write the book (we both work full-time) and then another month to have several people review and help us with editing. Our illustrator then took about 2 -3 months to fully illustrate all 3 books (The Beginning Stage, the Middle Stage, and the Late Stage.) We then modified the series and added a "Grandpa is Acting Funny" so that families have a choice on the series that best fits their family. Thank you for the question!

This sounds like a cute book to talk to children about a sad medical disease. I love the cover. Both of our children's Grandmas passed from Alzheimers and this book would have been a great way to explain to them what was going on with them.

I am a RN and I worked many years on the Alzheimer’s and dementia wards. It can be so confusing to a child to understand what is happening.

My grandmother had early dementia. It's rather difficult to distinguish from Alzheimers .

That is so true Cindy. They are all under the same umbrella. Even though these books talk about Alzheimer's specifically, the can also be used to help explain other dementia Dx too.
