Little Gems: Special Delivery Award-winning author by Jonathan Meres (author) and Hannah Coulson (illustrator)

A mix-up with memory leads to an unlikely friendship in this gorgeous Little Gem exploring dementia and the importance of inter-generational friendships.

All Frank wants is a new bike, but bikes cost money … So he better start saving! When he settles on helping his sister, Lottie, with her paper round, the last thing Frank expects is to meet an old lady wearing a cowboy hat and boots – she’s not like anyone he’s ever met before. But Frank’s new friend seems a bit muddled, and when she needs help, he’s the only one there to lend a hand. A gentle exploration of Dementia and a touching tale of forging friendships across generations.
