Some people with early-stage Alzheimer's may forget words or not remember your name from time to time. But, when you spend time with people with late-stage Alzheimer's, it is easy to see that something serious is going on. People with Alzheimer's disease are not acting like this because they don't care about you. Changes deep inside their brains are destroying the centers that control remembering, thinking, and feeling. Learning about Alzheimer's disease can help you understand what to expect and how to connect with the person you care about. -- Alzheimer's Association\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllen Say is the beloved author and illustrator of many acclaimed books for children, including the highly acclaimed \u003ci\u003eDrawing from Memory\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Inker's Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Favorite Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e (all published by Scholastic); the Caldecott Medal winner \u003ci\u003eGrandfather's Journey\u003c\/i\u003e; and the Caldecott Honor winner \u003ci\u003eThe Boy of the Three-Year Nap\u003c\/i\u003e.
