Explaining Memory Loss
Irene’s charming story explains memory loss in a way that small children can understand. It was published in print in 2012. Dedicated to her mother, an eBook came out on Amazon Kindle on Mother’s Day 2014. Barbara Dessi’s delightful illustrations complement both editions. A 3rd edition in Kindle format, with more of Barbara’s illustrations, came out in September 2015

When I couldn’t find one I wrote The Forgetful Elephant
