Over 6 million people in the United States alone are affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Talking about this hard topic with children who have loved ones diagnosed with Alzheimer’s can be a daunting task. A Song in Her Heart was written to help adults generate conversations about this disease with children and create more awareness for everyone.

Beautifully written and illustrated, this story takes you through the full life of Josie who was born with A Song in Her Heart. Josie shared her song with everyone she met. She believed everyone has a song to share. This poignant story was written about the author’s mother and reveals how music affects the lives of not only Alzheimer’s patients but also those around them.
