Celebrated on April 23rd, today is World Book Day! Dementia Spring seeks to highlight artists inspired by and inspiring people living with dementia. We’ve found some of our favorite books highlighting journeys of people living with dementia and their care partners.
- On Pluto by Greg O’Brien: O’Brien shares his journey of his diagnosis of Young Onset Alzheimer’s and the impact it has on his and his family’s lives in an auto-biographical narrative.
