What is The Tide about?
A little girl loves spending time with her grandad, especially days filled with seaside walks, sandcastles and laughter. But Grandad’s dementia means that sometimes he forgets things or becomes confused. Mum explains that his memories are like the tide: sometimes close and lively, sometimes far away and quiet. As the tide comes in, the girl learns to understand Grandad’s changing feelings, cope with her own worries and show him that their love remains strong.
