"Cindy Chambers does an outstanding job of describing the symptoms and the underlying cause of Alzheimer's dementia with her new book Grandma Noonie has Alzheimer's. A compassionate pineapple named Pippy, from Tell Me Town, learns from Dr. Neuro, the different stages of Alzheimer's dementia and how it incapacitates patients. Pippy's meeting with Grandma Noonie inspires us to be empathetic during our interactions with Alzheimer's patients. Pippy motivates us to be optimistic regarding a possible cure, and encourages us to raise the money for research by participating in fund raising activities. A must read for anyone whose loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's."

"Grandma Noonie Has Alzheimer's is another great book in the Tell Me Town book series. As a rescue squad chief, I see families that care for those suffering from Alzheimer's. It is helpful to have such a good teaching tool to help children and their families learn about Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's is difficult, not only for the patient, but for those living with and caring for their loved ones suffering from this disease. It is my hope that this book will help educate and reassure children who may have someone special in their life that is suffering from Alzheimer's."

"Author Cindy Chambers has done it again! She has taken a very difficult topic and put it in terms that are easy to understand. Pippy and the Wheeler family have shared a very personal story about their Noonie. Alzheimer's is a frustrating and complicated disease of the brain. Every family that has a loved one with this disease should read this book. It provides hope and shares how each of us can help make a difference and contribute to finding a cure."
