[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Nina Beana, Grandpa Ro, and the Golden Goose" by Roland Charlles.]
The book Nina Beana, Grandpa Ro, and the Golden Goose is written by Roland Charlles and is intended for young readers. A little girl named Nina Beana, who is only four years old, appears to have a special relationship with her grandfather, only for the family to learn much later that he passed away due to Alzheimer's disease. But the two of them shared one very special memory with one another, and that was of a golden goose that no one else but the two of them could see.
I thought it was really refreshing how the illustrations managed to retain their vividness while also retaining a sense of realism. The reader will gain a deeper understanding of Alzheimer's disease as a result of reading this book. It also explains to the reader that when someone has Alzheimer's disease, their loved ones are often forced to live in separate homes because they are unable to always stay with the individual because of their condition.
I thought it was really wonderful how the author dealt with the subject of Alzheimer's disease and made the person who has it appear to be the hero of the story. Everyone who knows someone with Alzheimers does not always treat their loved ones the same way they did before the disease took over their mind. I also liked how the golden goose was incorporated into the story because it gives the reader the impression that they too have a unique memory of their grandpa and that this memory may cause them to think of him after he has passed away.
I give this book a perfect score of 5 out of 5 stars because I couldn't find a single thing to criticise about it. It is my hope that many children will find comfort and understanding in this book as they grieve the loss of a loved one who has Alzheimer's disease. If a parent is unsure of how to approach this topic with their child, they can utilise this book as a resource. In addition, I was unable to locate any typos, leading me to believe that this book underwent meticulous editing.
I would recommend this book to children who have a loved one in their family who is possibly going through with having Alzheimer's disease or who has recently lost someone in their life who had Alzheimer's disease. Especially in the case where they were emotionally attached to them.
