About the Book



"Mi abuelo Pedro estâa un poco despistado: mete el pollo en la lavadora, confunde toallas con servilletas, guantes con calcetines, Æy hasta se olvida muchas veces de mi nombre! Para evitar que el mal vaya a mayores ha venido a vivir a nuestra casa. Me alegra que estâe con nosotros, aunque ya me he metido en mâas de un lâio por intentar ayudarle. Pero harâia lo que fuera para que mi abuelo no olvidase las cosas. Lo que fuera. Y vosotros, Åquâe harâiais por aquellos que querâeis? La pâerdida de memoria afecta a un gran nâumero de ancianos. El cariäno y la comprensiâon son la mejor manera de sobrellevar esta dolencia. ÅQuâe mejor apoyo que la ayuda de un nieto travieso? En Los despistes del abuelo Pedro la enfermedad es enfocada desde el sentido del humor pues, ante los obstâaculos, la mejor compaänâia es siempre una sonrisa"--Publisher's description.



Book Synopsis



Winner at the 2012 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards. A subtle, deceptively simple book about the relationship between a kid and his Grandfather, suffering from Alzheimer's. Love and understanding are often the best tools for dealing with this problem. And who better to help than a mischievous grandson?

My Grandpa Pedro is a bit confused: he tries to roast the chicken inside the washing machine, he gets towels mixed up with napkins, gloves mixed up with socks, and he's always forgetting my name! My mom and uncle Andrés are worried things could get worse, so they decided it was best if Grandpa came to live at our house.

I'm glad he's with us now because he helps me with my homework and I help him with his. Although I keep getting into trouble trying to help him... But I'd do anything to stop my grandpa from forgetting things! Anything. What about you? What would you do for the people you love?

Ganador del premio Moonbeam Children's Book Awards en 2012. Un libro sutil y delicado sobre la relación entre un niño y su abuelo, que sufre de Alzheimer. El amor y la comprensión suelen ser las mejores herramientas para afrontar cualquier adversidad. ¿Y quién mejor para ayudar que un nieto lleno de energía?

Mi abuelo Pedro está un poco despistado: mete el pollo en la lavadora, confunde toallas con servilletas, guantes con medias, ¡y hasta se olvida muchas veces de mi nombre! Mamá y tío Andrés están muy preocupados por él, así que han decidido que de ahora en adelante el abuelo vivirá con nosotros.

Me alegra que esté con nosotros, porque así él me ayuda con los deberes y yo lo ayudo a él con los suyos. Aunque ya me he metido en más de un lío por intentar ayudarlo... Pero haría lo que fuera para que mi abuelo no olvidara las cosas. Lo que fuera. Y vosotros, ¿qué haríais vuestros seres queridos?



Review Quotes




"This well-intentioned effort will surely comfort children coping with similar situations and may lead to further discussions on how children can help when someone is unwell." --Kirkus Reviews
