Summary
Grandpa, Can I Have a Hug? is a touching children’s story that follows siblings Ella and Linus as they navigate changes in their relationship with their beloved Grandpa, who has Alzheimer’s. Grandpa once filled their days with laughter, tickling, and fun activities. But slowly, he begins to change—he forgets things, loses his playful humor, and becomes unsteady on his feet. Eventually, he moves to a nursing home. At first, the nursing home feels cold and unfriendly. Ella and Linus don’t know how to connect with Grandpa there, and they miss the way he used to be. But everything improves when Grandpa moves to a new, warm nursing home where the staff welcomes visitors as part of the care team. Slowly, Ella and Linus grow comfortable in this new environment. Though it takes time, the siblings find the courage to hug Grandpa, sparking a moment of connection that bridges the gap caused by his illness. From there, they discover new ways to enjoy time with him—taking him on wheelchair “adventures” through the halls, sharing treats, and spending time as a family. Through gentle storytelling and heartfelt illustrations, Grandpa, Can I Have a Hug? helps children understand that even though loved ones may change, the love they share remains strong. The story offers comfort and encourages young readers to find new ways to connect, showing that love can endure even through the hardest changes.
