Laura Smetana has fond memories of enjoying ice cream with her son and his grandpa, Laura’s dad. "Ice Cream with Grandpa: A Loving Story for Kids About Alzheimer’s & Dementia" was inspired by their relationship, before and after her dad developed Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. She has three generations of ice cream scoopers in her home—one from her grandpa, one from her dad, and one she got with her family in France. Each one brings back sweet memories with loved ones. Laura lives with her family in the Chicago suburbs, where she is happily at work on several new books for kids. You can visit her at www.laurasmetana.com.
