Grandma Is All Right
Tsubasa loves his grandmother. She always encourages him, saying, “It’s all right!” and is very kind. But when she gets “the sickness that makes her forget,” she changes. She asks the same question many times, cannot knit well like she used to, and gets lost. As her dementia progresses, Tsubasa begins to avoid her. One day, however, he discovers numerous notes she wrote to try and remember things, and he realizes that she has struggled to fight her illness. The symptoms of dementia and the feelings of sufferers and their families are portrayed in warm illustrations, from the viewpoint of the grandson, in this story. (Shirota)
