I don't know of any Childrens books about Parkinsons but I am aware of a book called "What's Happening to Grandpa" by Maria Shriver. It deals with Alzheimer but maybe you can "edit" it a bit verbally to explain Parkinsons. I, too, am interested in young childrens books explaining Parkinsons. Maybe I should write one called "What's Happening to Oma Yola". ha ha Yola Case > [Original Message] > From: Jeffrey Baumgartner <[log in to unmask]> > To: <[log in to unmask]> > Date: 1/14/2005 4:28:07 AM > Subject: Books about Parkinsons for Children > > First off, let me say I have lurked on this list for some > time now and it is a fantastic resource.
