Illustrated by
Liz Anelli.
After Dad comes home with an old-fashioned film camera and begins taking pictures of odd objects, his family understands that his behavior is associated with Alzheimer's disease. While Watkins's text can be cryptic (e.g., "Then we lost Dad," he writes without further explanation), it could start discussion in families witnessing similar decline. Using mono-prints, collage, and other media, Anelli captures the many tender moments in this story of loss.
