Boswell hosts an event with Wisconsin author Alison Hayes, who visits to celebrate the launch of her touching new picture book, Take My Patty, which tells the story of a girl and her grandmother's special bond during the beginning stages of Alzheimer's. Every day with Grandma is a special day. Emma and her grandma have their own daily routine at Grandma's house. They play cards while sitting on the davenport, gulp down juice from the icebox, and when they go on a walk, Grandma takes her patty while they stroll down the sidewalk. But Grandma's memory is starting to fade, and soon she needs more help than Emma can provide. As Grandma prepares to move somewhere new, Emma worries. Will Grandma remember all the special things she does with her granddaughter? With a heartfelt message, this book offers comfort to those experiencing the early stages of Alzheimer's and dementia, and reassurance to the loved ones who walk alongside them.
